Fan Worms

Fan Worms, also known as Feather Duster Worms, are a fascinating and visually captivating addition to any reef aquarium. These invertebrates belong to the Sabellidae family and are characterized by their beautiful, feathery radioles that extend from their tube-like bodies. The radioles function both as a feeding mechanism and a respiratory organ, capturing plankton and other small particles from the water column. Fan Worms are generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of other marine species, making them an excellent choice for community tanks. They come in a variety of colors and sizes, adding both visual interest and biological diversity to the aquarium environment.

Caring for Fan Worms requires a stable and mature aquarium with good water quality. They thrive in tanks with moderate to strong water flow, which helps bring food particles to their feathery appendages. It's important to ensure that the aquarium is free from aggressive tank mates that might nip at their delicate radioles. Additionally, Fan Worms benefit from regular feedings of phytoplankton or other fine particulate foods to supplement their diet. While they are relatively hardy, they can be sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters, so maintaining consistent conditions is key to their health and longevity.
