SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted April 9, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted April 9, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member piero Posted April 13, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted April 13, 2007 http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di....cfm?pCatId=540 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.

Janelle Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 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. http://www.wildsingapore.com/chekjawa/text/p630.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelle Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Can anyone clarify whether coco worm is the same species as sea cucumber (Holothuroidea)? Did they belong to the same family? ! Curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
