Coco worms?

[reef3r]

Hi, I've seen coco worms on liveaquaria recently, but I can't find anything on their care? Are they difficult to keep, or are they like feather dusters? They're definitely very pretty.

their survival rate in captivity is terrible. Please do not get these animals, they should be left in the wild. Essentially the worm just starves to death in a very gradual fashion...

Okay, I won't get them then.. but why do they starve?

They need so much food that they are almost imposible to keep. also, they may refuse to feed and need lots of minerals to build their tube.

Mine has grown over an inch in just 3 months. Mine likes really high flow, and oyster eggs. Here is a recent pic of it.
