The Medusa Worm would be a great addition to most peaceful reef aquariums because of their natural behavior of cleaning up detritus and uneaten foods. However it can be easily irritated or harmed causing it to release deadly toxins. This can cause many of your fish to become ill and in some cases the toxin can wipe out an entire tank. So, this makes it unsuitable for most aquariums. If kept, cover all intakes and overflows to prevent it from being harmed and only keep with peaceful, "non-picky" tankmates. |

The Brown Medusa Worm (Synapta sp.) belongs to the family named Synaptidae. The Brown Medusa Worm is passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a well established aquarium, a strong water current, a fluctuating water current, extra substrate area, a deep substrate, rockwork structure, and plenty of hiding spaces.
