Ahhh... The Crinoid Conundrum. "It's sooo cool. But what will I feed it?
It's sooooooooooo cool!" :)

http://www.divegallery.com/crinoids.htm (if you have no idea what we're
discussing)

It would seem probable the GP's would work...

There's only one way to find out. I'll bring some samples on the 12th and
then you can play with it and see if you like it or not. This paired with
live sand would offer enough supplemental bacteria and unicellular algae to
get them thru, I would think.

Anyone else doing fish rearing that would like to try some? Contact me off
list. I bought 8 oz bags of each size from Clusters to Artemia 2 and well, I
didn't realize how much 8 oz was and it's just sitting there for now (I'm not
patient enough to see if it works just on my own ;).

Also, if you recieve a package from me with brown dust in it. It's golden
pearls, not anthrax. So don't worry. ;)

I have not tried it but I have heard good things. I wonder if it would be
the key to getting crinoids to live for any length of time since they seem
to be size selective in their feeding requirements
