Tubeworms Or Feather Duster..

[metals99]

Hi, as above..

Is there anybody out there could share with me their secret or skill to stick em' to your yours?? so difficult took me and 1 and still its moving out of the point.. even without any wave at all...

and what do u feed it?? its ok to just leave it rite as it feeds on the filter feeder etc. even the flakes .. dissolve particles etc.

is there any nice specimens of this anywhere in S'pore lfs?? different colours.. just bought the local ones decor my rocks hehe

If u have can attach pics of either your tubeworms or feather duster??

They are good for newbies and beginners rite??

anyway heard that boxing shrimp or coral banded shrimp can't put with this tube worms or feather duster cause they will eat em' is it true mine never get near or try to do anything to em' at all...

anything to watch out??

for lighting do they prefer strong or light??

do u put light wave to see their tentacle move??

everybody appreciate your help in advance...

anyway they secrete this white thing and i read online saying its calcium carbonate when its shock or something not dangerous rite anyway the secretion dissapears fast..

everybody..

Watch out for cowfishes too...Mine yanked one out of its tube and finished it within an afternoon. I spanked and scolded it and he left the other two alone.

[metals99]

wow hehe yeah cowfishes is very aggresive.. i heard that too.. i think the only fishes i can put in is damsels or clownfishes now for this tank..

after your spanking i think the cowfishes is a good boy now.. hehe

[SpiderOne]

or u better hope that he is not angry with u for the spanking. coz he is a timebomb who can light his own fuse

[metals99]

once bomb everything destroyed.. hehe even himself..

[flubberina13]

Dun worry, I adminstered therapeutic counselling to it and now he is chums with the other inhabitants in my tank. Has never given me trouble or cause mortality and even feeds from my hand. Though a bit scared of his reputation.

[SpiderOne]

I dont think the cowfish will bomb himself . but other cowfish will be bombed. the resulting ammonia spike shld kill it though. so basically its a nuclear bomb and he die in the fallout

[metals99]

hehe walau this thread is getting more and more leh.. hehe

anyway cows or puffers are good got fowlr.. for reef tanks they would be risky too..

They do lose their feathers in times of stress.

They should grow back.
