Bispira is a genus of sedentary polychaete worms known for their colorful and feathery crown, which they use for filter feeding. These worms are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their ability to add movement and color to the aquarium. They are generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of tank mates. Bispira species often form small clusters, hence the name 'Social Feather Duster'. They require a stable environment with good water quality and benefit from moderate water flow to help them capture food particles.
