Hi,

Anyone has experienced your coco worm drop its head?

Any idea why and will it survive and grow back its head?

thanks.

I hope you haven't removed and throw it away yet coz there are instances that the coco will regenerate a new head.

Bro... Did U see any white subtance coming out of the tube?

I bought a single head Coco from iwarna some time ago. It disappeared into the tube and started emitting some white subtance. A few weeks later, one head became 2 head... They may be mating as we speak.

Some notes from liveqauaria

The aquarium for the Hard Tube Coco Worm should be well-established and contain a rock and gravel substrate. The Hard Tube Coco Worm requires calcium and the proper alkalinity to grow. It is extremely intolerant of poor water quality and copper-based medications.

Hi, I'm new member here.

May I know the tube worm that you all have mentioned is also recognised as sea cucumber?

Just to clarify thing that I have read from some website.

1. The white thing that the sea cucumber eject white stuff call as Cuverian tubules which is for defense system when they sense there is predator.

2. Ya, that's true that the sea cucumber will regenerate when the organ is vomit out.

Thanks for the information provided from different people because I get to know that it takes about 1 month to regenerate.

Here I have a resource that I found quite good all about Sea cucumber.

Can anyone clarify whether coco worm is the same species as sea cucumber (Holothuroidea)?

Did they belong to the same family?
