Pink & White Feather Duster: Graceful Filter Feeder for Your Reef

Add a captivating focal point to your marine aquarium with the stunning Pink & White Feather Duster. This elegant invertebrate brings beauty and natural filtration to your underwater world.

Overview

The Pink & White Feather Duster (*Bispira guinensis*) is a mesmerizing marine worm celebrated for its vibrant, fan-shaped radioles, showcasing delicate shades of pink and white. It gracefully extends these feathery appendages into the water column to filter feed, retracting swiftly into its protective parchment-like tube if disturbed. A peaceful and reef-safe inhabitant, it anchors itself into your aquarium’s sand bed or rockwork, adding a dynamic visual element with its gentle swaying motion.

Care Level

Considered an intermediate species, the Pink & White Feather Duster requires stable water conditions and a well-established reef system to thrive. It is peaceful and compatible with most reef-safe tank mates, but avoid aggressive or predatory fish that might nip at its delicate crown. It is highly sensitive to copper-based medications and sudden parameter shifts.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 40 litres is recommended to provide the stability this filter feeder needs. Maintain a temperature range of 22-26°C and a pH of 8.1-8.4. Moderate to high water flow is crucial, allowing the worm to efficiently capture food particles. Ensure a thick sandy substrate or ample rockwork for it to secure its tube.

Diet

As a dedicated filter feeder, the Pink & White Feather Duster continuously sifts microscopic organisms, plankton, and dissolved organic compounds from the water. Supplement its diet regularly with high-quality phytoplankton and liquid organic foods to ensure optimal health and vibrant colouration. Target feeding with a pipette can be beneficial.
