Cerianthus filiformis violet, nicknamed the giant tube anemone, is actually a tube-dwelling worm with a graceful and colorful plume, oscillating between bluish and purplish hues. This worm spends its entire life in a tube it constructs itself in the sand, from which it deploys its long tentacles to trap floating food particles.
Using its fine and mobile tentacles, Cerianthus filiformis violet captures zooplankton, micro-prey, and Artemia in suspension. It is harmless to fish and corals and serves as a living decorative element in any sandy-bottomed reef aquarium.
This specimen never leaves its tube, which it constructs itself with the tank's sediments. Therefore, it is essential to provide it with a fine sandy substrate so it can bury and fix itself properly.
To ensure its good health, it is recommended to feed it once or twice a week using zooplankton or Artemia. Make sure it captures its food during distribution, especially in areas with little water movement.
Sometimes Cerianthus leave their tubes during transport. This is not an issue: once placed on a sandy bottom, it will rebuild a new tube in a few days.
Cerianthus filiformis violet is a decorative and functional tube-dwelling worm, ideal for aquarists looking for a living and colorful element with fascinating behavior. Easy to feed and acclimate, it enriches the aquarium with a unique natural touch.
