It kept its crown. The one there has a green body to it. Its really weird to see them out of the tube.Does it still have its crown, or did it shed that off so it looks like a normal worm?
When I found my crowns they were in one piece but it was just the crown.. Not part of the worm. It does sound like it may have passed. One way to check though is if you pull up the tube out of the sand and squeeze oh so slightly you should feel the worm move.Well, I'm not optimistic, I think its dead. I saw the hermit crabs kind of huddled around the end of the tube last night. The "head" part where the feathers attach is lying in the sand a few inches from the end of the tube. I'm not sure if when they shed the crown if the whole part comes off, or if its just the feathery parts. So, its either headless and featherless and hiding in the tank someplace, or its dead and hte hermits ate most of it last night.
