Bispira brunnea (White) is a small, visually striking tubeworm that adds unique texture and movement to marine reef tanks. This species is known for its delicate white plumes, which it extends to filter feed on plankton and suspended particles.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, as Bispira brunnea requires stable water conditions and regular feeding to thrive.
Feeding: This tubeworm benefits from supplemental feeding with finely chopped marine plankton, phytoplankton, or liquid invertebrate foods several times per week. It relies on filter feeding and may not compete well for food in heavily stocked tanks.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Bispira brunnea is peaceful and reef safe, making it suitable for community reef aquariums. Avoid housing with aggressive or predatory fish and invertebrates that may damage its delicate crown.
Water Flow and Placement: Provide moderate, gentle water flow to ensure adequate food delivery without damaging the delicate feeding tentacles. Place the tubeworm in a sheltered location on live rock or substrate where it can anchor its tube securely.
Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 30 litres is recommended to maintain stable water parameters and provide sufficient space.
Origin and Size: Origin is not provided. This listing is for a small-sized specimen, suitable for smaller reef tanks.
