Hi guys
I had two feather duster worms which both left their tube and as I can imagine got eaten by bristle worms. I have no idea why. My salt is 1.025 and around 33 ppm at 77F. Calcium is at 400 using API test kit. Alkalinity 179 gh/kh. All the other parameters are 0 - ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. Phosphate is 1. One of those worms has been in my tank for a while. He had dropped his crown several times and regrown it. This time he completely left its tube. The other worm was a actually a brand new worm. Also left its tube short time after the first one. I also have a coco worm that has been living for a while and he seems fine. I would think the requirement for coco and feather duster worm is the same right? What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to keep feather duster alive in my tank. Do feather duster leave tube because they're just way too stressed?
