SRC Member andysho Posted January 8, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 8, 2004 just notice that my corals not opening and sad to said my touch coral said bye bye to me just a advise to all the reefer out there...watch an eye on your coco worm............. we never know what corals can do to our tank..until we have a full understanding of this great beauty~~ maybe the more chio it is..the more deadly is it, hiding behind its beauty~~~ is a secret deadly weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roidan Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 actually how big is your tank? maybe coz the amount of rotting substance from the worm is higher than what your tank can handle..tats why the water quality drop very fast.... but if its a big tank..i dun see why a dying coco worm can cause so much damage....condolences Quote Advanced Aquarist (March05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member andysho Posted January 8, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 8, 2004 is a 2ft tank or so i think because the scroll coral crashed on its "head" making the impact more greater , by the time i saw it..its head already gone~~~ frankly speaking i have coral died before~~but the water still ok, i think if the coco worm death not due to this big monster fell onto it. but due to other reasons...at least it will die slowly and show some signs at lest i can perform remedy to it... u can imagine u walk on the street suddenly one plane crashed on you..all your brain juice and organs will start flying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roidan Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 eeee...so gory... hehe..but then again..i think size of the tank is one of the reason why the other corals deteriorate so fast..... you are right also that the seriousness of the injury to the worm hasten the rotting process instead of slowly wasting away... but you look at it this way....using the same example...if a heavy object falls on you in your closed bedroom (2ft tank) and then your brain and watever spill out...will stench the room much faster than if the brick falls on you while walking in the open streets (ocean)...the air wun stench so much..only the localised area will get problems..but the rest of the streets in singapore or the world live on as usual... so firstly, if you have a nano tank and have many inhabitants, you must realise tat every little inhabitant can have a big consequence on the tank...and similarly, every single action you do can can have a big impact also....eg...dosing of chemicals...just take care not to overdose as the amount of water is not large enough to moderate the change Quote Advanced Aquarist (March05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member andysho Posted January 8, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 8, 2004 of course the bigger the tank the better~~ just hope those who own a 2ft tank there , be careful of the health of your coral~the death of one coral can wip out your tank in a moment or so~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roidan Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 yeah...doesnt hurt to monitor the tank whenever possible but anyway, from what i know so far, coco worm are not poisonous... it may be just the ammonia spike that harms the rest of the corals Quote Advanced Aquarist (March05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponsor Glare Posted January 8, 2004 Sponsor Share Posted January 8, 2004 can you guys use less explicit descriptions, very clear explanations though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roidan Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 can you guys use less explicit descriptions, very clear explanations though haha...was just following his direction and cue but better to be explicit and get the point across...than muddling through it and the other bros do not understand the seriousness of the problem Quote Advanced Aquarist (March05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roidan Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 oh..anyway...with regards to cocoworm, there was one incident few months back when almost the same thing happened, i was scaping some rocks in my 2ft tank when i broke the calcerous tube, exposing half the worm.. dun ask me what i did after that Quote Advanced Aquarist (March05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member andysho Posted January 8, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 8, 2004 yep i hope those who just started keep corals or so, spent more time watching your coral...today might look so healthy~~~but hard to said for tom~~ as sometimes accident do happen...like my case~~" a worm got into a accident" i still cant believe it~~ very sad~~ thanks to this SRC that new or old reefer can share every experience we have ~and learnt more from one another~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
