Protula bispiralis

Protula bispiralis – Giant Tube Worm for Reef Aquarium

Protula bispiralis is an impressive giant tube worm native to reef areas, living at depths between 5 and 20 meters. Highly valued in marine aquariums for its aesthetics and ecological role, it is perfectly compatible with reef aquariums.

A Highly Efficient Natural Filter

Protula bispiralis adopts the strategy of filter-feeding animals. It deploys a spectacular feather-like plume from its calcareous tube. This plume allows it to effectively capture zooplankton and phytoplankton present in the current. Thanks to this natural filtration system, it actively contributes to the quality of the water.

Its plume is generally colored, ranging from white to pink, and sometimes even orange, making it a living decorative element of great visual appeal in your aquarium.
