An attractive "cluster" of small feather dusters, typically found in the shady areas of the reef. However, these usually do not fair to well in the home aquarium. Unfortuantly the are usually damaged during collection and many do not recover. They are also sensitive to acclimation and any tank mates that may pester them. |

The Cluster Duster (Bispira brunnea) is sometimes called a Feather Duster Cluster. It belongs to the family named Sabellidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Cluster Duster is passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Bispira brunnea in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, 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 moderate water current, and rockwork structure.
