Proper powerhead guards are a mandatory requirement for keeping these safely.Filter Feeding: These animals thrive in systems with plenty of suspended particulates. They are excellent "clean-up" workers but shouldn't be kept in overly sterile, ultra-low-nutrient tanks without supplemental feeding.Biological Indicators: The movement and expansion of a Medusa Worm’s tentacles are great indicators of water quality and flow patterns within your reef.Circadian Rhythm: Unlike many worms that are nocturnal, the Medusa Worm is highly visual during the day, making it a fantastic "show" piece for hobbyists who want something different.Are you brave enough to keep a Medusa Worm, or is the "tank nuke" risk too high for you?
