He's been with me for about 18mos...was a pain in the rear for about six weeks after I go him...could not get him to look happy...since then though been very hardy and easy to keep.

Very cool. How do you care for it? What does it eat?

JNicho · 10-14-2009, 05:45 PM

It's non-photosynthetic so it prefers a more "shady" location...it needs several inches of sand to bury it's "foot/tube" in...otherwise it's pretty easy...it eats like a pig...pretty much any kind of meaty food...one thing I learned the hard way was that peppermint shrimp love the taste of it, and will pick at it continually...so if you want one, no pepps...that's really about all I can think of other than the usual coral/nem tank parameters.

Oh, and here is a video of my tank that has a nice shot of the tube nem if you're interested.
