Protula bispiralis (Red-White) is a visually captivating large tubeworm prized for its distinctive red and white radioles forming a delicate crown. This species adds both colour and movement to established marine reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended. Protula bispiralis requires stable water parameters and consistent feeding to thrive.
Feeding: As a filter feeder, this tubeworm benefits from regular feedings of finely particulate foods such as phytoplankton, microplankton, and liquid invertebrate foods. Target feeding can improve health and longevity.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: Protula bispiralis is reef safe and compatible with most peaceful reef inhabitants. Avoid housing with aggressive fish or invertebrates that may disturb or prey upon it.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres is advised to provide adequate space and water quality. Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure sufficient food delivery without damaging the delicate crown.
Placement: Position the tubeworm in a sheltered area with moderate flow and indirect lighting to mimic its natural habitat. Ensure it is securely attached to live rock or a stable substrate.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is sufficient; avoid intense direct light which may stress the animal.
Origin: Not Provided.
