Bispira brunnea is a fascinating small tubeworm prized for its delicate, feather-like crown of tentacles that add movement and texture to marine reef tanks. This species is a filter feeder, relying on suspended plankton and fine particulate matter in the water column.
Care Level: Moderate. Requires stable water parameters and regular feeding.
Feeding: Feed with finely chopped marine plankton, phytoplankton, or specialised invertebrate foods several times per week. Target feeding is recommended to ensure adequate nutrition.

Water Flow & Lighting: Moderate water flow is ideal to deliver food particles without damaging the delicate crown. Lighting should be moderate to low, mimicking shaded reef environments.
Placement: Secure the tubeworm in a stable substrate or rock crevice where it can anchor its tube safely. Position away from strong direct light and intense currents.
