Here is a shot of my Coco worm growing a new crown. It shed its crown about 2 weeks ago.

Re: Coco Worm Growing New Crown

Scott glad to see that. Many times they shed it for unknown reasons and just "wither" away. Looks like yours is back on the GOOD side again. Good deal!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Re: Coco Worm Growing New Crown

Glad to hear it!!! Since losing his crown, my Coco Worm's crown is getting bigger and bigger every day. I am curious to see what the final crown is going to look like. I hope that your guys does well for you Scott.

Re: Coco Worm Growing New Crown

Thanks Boomer! I was hoping to be able to edit that first post and add weekly pictures to see the progress of its grow, but editing is apparently out of the question so here is the new series of pictures with dates.

Very nice. I had one that shed twice and the head grew back. I did end up losing the worm after about 6 months. Bad water.
