Coco Worm Growing New Crown - Page 3

djbacon · 06-06-2008, 06:40 PM

Keep us posted - Ive red threads that say they reproduce by secreting gametes into the water and it takes two worms to do it, Ive also read that half may leave the tube and start a new worm, leaving the other half to grow a new crown. This is all thread talk and nothing conrete, but KEEP US POSTED!! It would be exciting for sure. All the reliable sources I have read from say they will not breed in captivity. Do you have multiple in your tank?

you sure they arent feather dusters? how about some pics!

My understanding is that Coco worms have a poor, longterm, survival rate in captivity.

Who has had their Coco worm the longest? Everyone chime in that has or has had a Coco worm.

aww, im gona have to take care of the tiny cocos then, you said you moved corals around, hmmm!! were those the tan star polyps?

Come to think of it, yes! Do your worms have spiraled heads or flat, half moon heads?

some of them have 2 heads, the small ones look bright red from far, but larger ones look Orange. does this mean they are cocos then! Look closely at your rock, im sure youll find a ton of white spirals, or tubes sticking up.
