ID: Coco Worm or Feather Duster

[Jesfromdax]

Adopted these worms from a fellow reefer who was breaking down his tank. He told me they were feather dusters but after closer inspection I believe they might be coco worms.

The tubes are not hard/calcareous but the yellow one looks like it has two heads. I'm not going to give them away either way, I just want to ID them so I can take care of them the best I can.

Hard tube is a coco work and soft tube is a feather duster from what ive been told.

Any specific care for them. Do you feed them phytoplankton or no?

Thank you for the tip. They must be eating something in the water cause I saw them poop before I left the house. Was going to order some DT's Phytoplankton as a treat.

Yea them pooping is a sign they are eating.
