This soft tube worm is a sensitive filter feeder, but can be kept well under stable conditions. It feeds on fine suspended particles, phytoplankton, and zooplankton from the water. Regular feeding with fine plankton food improves its well-being and feather development. Since the tube is soft, the worm reacts particularly sensitively to touch, relocation, or strong currents.
