madreef Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I came home last month to find the head of a coco worm floating on the bottom of the aquarium (the main suspect is the long spined urchin,) and quickly eaten by a sally lightfoot. I put the tube in the refugium. Today the worm finally emerged from its tube and looks like it is growing another "head". Does anyone have one of these in their tank or have any experience with these? On a different note the long spined urchin spawned last night again!

reefgeek84 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 "Dusters" or "worms" can re-grow heads when they drop them...So this is more likely the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Popeil Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 i had a cocoworm drop his head during a tumultuous move a year ago, a new head regrew significantly quicker than i thought it would. it never recovered fully and some 4 months later it perished after nearly two years in my care. the refugium sounds like a great place to let it recover...it should do fine. let us know how it does!

pcsdlszr Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Our coco worm "lost it's heads" the week after we brought it home but we left it alone (having heard that they re-grow) and it has two beautiful heads once again!! Needless to say we were very relieved.(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
