Coco worm distressed?

halcyon_diver · #1 11/25/2007, 06:52 PM

i added a coco worm to my tank about 6 weeks ago along with a feather duster, i noticed a couple days ago that the top perimeter of the tube is a very bright white, unlike the rest of the tube ( almost 8 inches long) i assumed the worm was enlarging his home, the past two days his plume seldom is out and when it is out ..its not all the way out. i have it placed on the bottom of my tank, plenty of flow and fed the tank cyclopeze 3 times a week when i feed the fish and corals, the duster is doing fine and his plume is out almost all the time. any thoughts?
TIA

i find they are very picky with placement. too much flow they wont come out, too much light they wont come out, too close to anything it won tcome out... i had to move mine quite a bit before he stops being so shy.... i have him in a low flow, semi shady area with nothing around him haha
