coco worm

[olga21]

any one have the coco worm feather duster? It pink and pretty but I here it hard to keep. My lfs has some at 80$.

They are expensive. But as long as you feed them phytoplankton relatively often they arent hard to keep.

I have one. Had it for nearly a year now and it's doing well.

At that price I would do a test feather duster (regular hawiian) at first and see how well you are taking care at them. And to make sure none of your current live stock have a taste for feather dusters. Fish and inverts could make a nice snack out of them. I have had it happen before.

i totally agree with FeatherDuster. coco worms are a bit of a challenge sometimes and it would be sad to not succeeded with one. Hawaiians are much cheaper and need similar care. see if a Hawaiians can do well in yor tank for some months and if so jump on a nice coco. i have two myself. one red/yellow and one pink/white.

I have had a hawaiian feather duster for about two months. Its crown has almost doubled in size. I feed bioplankton about 3 times a week. Also got a flame scallop that is doing well so I am guessing the tank is ready. The lfs sold the one it had after a day or so but I am looking online for more research on them. Their anatomy is interesting. Does anyone have a website were I can understand its anatomy better?

Is the coco worms crown small are big like the hawaiian?

 

[Fishieness]

how long have you had the flame scallop anf what do you feed it?

 

[olga21]

5 months, bioplankton. why u ask?
