Bispira brunnea (White) | M

Bispira brunnea (White) is a striking medium-sized tubeworm known for its delicate white crown of feeding tentacles. This invertebrate is a peaceful addition to mature marine aquariums, where it contributes to natural filtration by capturing suspended particulate matter.

Care and Feeding: Bispira brunnea requires moderate care, thriving best in tanks with stable water parameters and moderate to strong water flow to facilitate feeding. It is a filter feeder and benefits from regular feeding with finely powdered marine plankton, phytoplankton, or liquid invertebrate foods. Target feeding is recommended to ensure adequate nutrition.

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

Placement and Environment: Position Bispira brunnea in areas with moderate water flow but protected from direct strong currents that could damage its feeding tentacles. It prefers stable, mature reef environments with good water quality.

Additional Notes: As a medium-sized tubeworm, it requires a minimum tank size of 75 litres to ensure adequate space and water quality. Lighting requirements are not critical but moderate lighting that supports overall tank health is ideal.
