i can safely tell u tt those rare tubeworms dont come cheap..

saw a bali green tubeworm for $4(size: 10 cent ) at SL..

common once will be brown and white.

which would cost abt $1 or $2.

im also into collecting them!

currently i have a green, white and brown...

was wondering should i spend 10 bucks on a small purple 1 i saw in 1 of the LFS...

still browsing.

do update us on those rare colours!

cheers.

:lol:

are tube worms considered hardy? I have FOWLR with

2 4ft tubes 10000K and a 4ft actinic blue in a 5 ft casing

on a 5ft tank. ammonia/NO2 = 0 but NO3 still being treated

with AZ-NO3, last checked at 30mg/l but going down.

will it survive? :unsure:

1. Via-Aqua MultiSkimmer - $25.00

2. DIY Kalk Reactor - $25.00

3. Atman Protein Skimmer - $25.00

PM Me if interested.

The worms in the 2ft tank will need feeding with some fine food like phytoplankton. Kent Phytoplex (bottled dead phytoplankton) can be used if everything else is inconvenient. (it can be kept in the fridge)

They will need to be in a quiet place otherwise they will be hidden most of the time. Put in fine sand to allow them to build their mucus tubes. Feed once a week with phytoplankton and use some simple and GENTLE filtration. (air pump operated??) If so, you'll need to do small water changes.

P.S. adding some amphipods and copepods to your tank will allow pods to breed in the tank. The larvae will feed the worms and the pods eat the leftover phytoplankton. It's a win-win situation.
