New Coco Worm

[mollymonticello]

Yay! I found a hard tube coco worm, Protula bispiralis at Animart in Madison, Wi for $30! That's the cheapest one I've ever seen. My husband thought it was pretty and pointed it out. When I saw the price and told him how much they usually are, he gave me the go-ahead to buy it.

I was afraid my seahorses would bother it too much, but here it is five minutes after putting it in the tank:

Thank you! I have tons of seahorse pics in the seahorse forum and at my photobucket www.photobucket.com/aquariumadventures

Here's a little better pic of the coco worm

Very cool. Ive had one for like a year know and love him. It has grown a few inches since Ive had him too. I can tell because the new growth at the top of the tube is very clean white looking compared to the rest of it.

Very pretty and sounds like you got a great deal on it.

Great worm, indeed. For how many times a week do you feed him with phyto?

 

[perenes]

awesome!

 

[lovethemfish]

I feed phyto to my tank a few times a week for all my filter feeders. Probably a good idea to keep your coco worm happy.

That was an excellent price! I have been looking for another one myself.
