Supposedly they do well in dirty nutrient filled tanks and I believe they need a gentle flow tank.

IMO they should be left in the ocean.. they are difficult to keep and very few have had success at keeping them for any length of time.
If your going to attempt another (which I would recommend against as this entices retailers to keep selling things that are best left in the ocean) here is an article to review Reefs Magazine - A Journey in Crinoid keeping By Michael Lukaczyn

Beat me to it Steve, I agree they should be left in the ocean. Heres another good write up.

Now I agree with steve but I also have kept one. He lasted awhile but I had a large brittle star that liked the way his feathers taste. They are very beautiful and hard to resist but if you can wait I would. I would love to try again one day
I also have tried to keep one, but it only lived about 2 months. The article Steve linked to is the only success story I have seen, and I do not plan to try again.
