Protula bispiralis (Red) | M

Protula bispiralis (Red) is a captivating medium-sized tubeworm prized for its bright red feeding tentacles that add vibrant colour and movement to reef aquariums. This invertebrate is a filter feeder, extending its delicate crown of radioles to capture plankton and suspended particles from the water column.

Care Level: Moderate. Protula bispiralis requires stable water parameters and consistent feeding to thrive.

Feeding: As a filter feeder, it benefits from regular feedings of finely powdered marine plankton, phytoplankton, or specialised invertebrate foods. Target feeding with a pipette or turkey baster can improve health and growth.

Compatibility: Reef safe and peaceful, this tubeworm coexists well with most reef inhabitants. Avoid housing with aggressive fish or invertebrates that may disturb or prey on it.

Water Flow & Placement: Moderate, gentle water flow is ideal to deliver food particles without damaging the delicate radioles. Place Protula bispiralis in a shaded or dimly lit area of the aquarium to mimic its natural habitat and reduce stress.

Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 30 litres is recommended to maintain stable water conditions. Ensure excellent water quality with regular maintenance and stable parameters.

With proper care, Protula bispiralis (Red) can be a stunning and peaceful addition to your marine reef aquarium, providing natural filtration and aesthetic appeal.
