How to encourage Coco Worm to come out?

[cdckjn]

I have a red coco worm that I have bought about 3 weeks ago. Initially it still comes out during the day but nowadays I can only see it in the early morning before I go to work (about 6.45am) then when I return I see nothing as always in its tube. Anyone got any idea how to encourage it to always open??? Thanks.

well cud it be that it is placed at a location that has lots of activity eg fishes swimming ard it all the time.... one of my red coco is locatedat such a place as well n it only comes out at nite n early morng when there is not much "fish activity"....stilll no harm so far

IMO, could be 2 reasons :

1) its still feeling stress. Need to give it some time to get use.

2) if its still feeling stress, it could be becuz of the following reasons:

a - u place it too in the open, the lighting is too glaring for ur coco worm?

b - U have fishes that likes to 'Kah-jiao' the coco worm?

c - u place it in such a way its a in a position facing u. (very common for many of us, since we wanna see the thing, just like we will have a tendency to tilt mushrooms to face the front so we can see it). when it sees us, it retracts back in?

in such a case, maybe u can trying shifting it to another position where the lighting is more subtle with slight shadow and its not out facing the front (face sideways).

post a pic for us? hope the shy creature comes out for you soon! Cocoworms are beautiful (but too expensive for me... ^^" )

Get the white cocos if you see them, they cost much lesser than the red varieties and they look stunning as well. By the way, coco worms can see?
