I have 2 Ginormus feather dusters at the moment.. and I wonder what and how they eat
 
Dont rightly know mate...Would imagine they are just filter feeders, catching anything that goes by..But suppose if they are massive, they must need more that just filtering...

They rely on filter feeding / small particle capture for food. Phytoplankton feedings (DTs Phytoplankton or home grown) are commonly used to keep them alive and well.
 
have this stuff from Dr's Foster smith called black powder for filter feeders....any good?
 
in my personal opinion, all those dry filterfeeder products are crap. even a lot of the liquids. many filter feeders (especialy mollusks) are very very very picky about the size food they injest and will often die of starvation if you are feeding them the wrong type of food. most of the powerdered products are too small because they are mearly pieces of the actual plankton. feather dusters are much less picky, so what you will may work, but the live stuff would be better. it would also pollute your tank less than already dead stuff.
 
Here some Pics of them,

I love these, I am going back for some more, this big for 3.99 each? steal or bad?
 
Well, if my currency conversion is correct...i would say its an absolute steal mate...

The prices you pay over there in the US makes me wanna emigrate and start all over again...
