Bispira brunnea (White) is a visually captivating tubeworm known for its delicate white plumes and peaceful nature. This large specimen is suitable for mature marine reef aquariums where it can extend its feather-like radioles to filter feed.

Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, with stable water parameters and regular feeding to maintain health.

Feeding: Bispira brunnea is a filter feeder that benefits from regular offerings of finely chopped meaty foods such as phytoplankton, rotifers, and other microplankton. Target feeding is advised to ensure adequate nutrition.

Compatibility and Reef Safety: This species is peaceful and reef safe, making it compatible with most reef inhabitants. Avoid housing with aggressive fish or invertebrates that may damage its delicate plumes.

Water Flow and Lighting: Provide gentle to moderate water flow to facilitate feeding without damaging the delicate structures. Moderate lighting is sufficient, avoiding direct intense light which may cause stress.

Placement: Position the tubeworm in a sheltered area of the aquarium, ideally on rockwork or substrate where it can anchor securely and extend its feeding tentacles freely.

Additional Notes: Ensure stable water quality with regular monitoring of parameters such as salinity, temperature, and nutrient levels. This species thrives in well-established reef systems.
