    I have had my coco worm for about a few days and I had noticed that after a day of having my coco worm it's "feathers" were severly curled in and I couldn't find out why. I tried researching about "curled coco worm feathers" and couldn't find anything other than when it feeds the feather will sometimes curl, but mine was obviously not feeding as they had been curled that whole day. I accidently bumped the powerhead when cleaning the glass and just continued cleaning the glass and was going to fix it after I was done. Before I tilted the powerhead back in the possition it was in recently I noticed that the coco worm uncurled and was beautifully waving in a nice flow. So, if you have a coco worm that won't uncurl it's because your flow is too low. I really wanted to share this because I couldn't find information on why it was curled online anywhere, but found out myself.
