Coco Worm

[adamfajge]

I have had a coco waorm now for months and it just lost one of its crowns. I have been using kalk in my top off water. 1/4 teaspoon kalk to 1/4 gallon water morning and night. Anyone think this could have stressed him out?

They don't like high Nitrates. What is your Nitrate level?

Also, have you seen any crabs or fish pick at the crown?

[adamfajge]

About 7ppm nitrates. I moved him recently though.

my cocoa worm sheds his every now and then... should grow back

[adamfajge]

I hope he does regrow. From looking great to the 2 heads acting wierd, then losing one head and now both head I think are gone.

I saw 2 hermits craw around the opening. Should I take him out of the tank or leave him alone?
