I just lost my Crocea of about 4 years. I am really upset. About a week and a half ago it stopped opening up completely. The mantle would come out about half way. it still responded to light change. All parameters are fine. i have another large deresa which is doing fine. I took the crocea out early on to check for parasites but did not find any. When i came home today it was dead. When I lifted him up off the rock I saw a huge bristle worm or maybe a fire worm come out from him. Could this have been the culprit or was the worm just getting a free lunch after it was already dead?

IMO, probably got it after it was deceased...

Yeah, the worm was likely scavenging and not attacking. Sorry to hear for the loss.

It was very sad. I did not see any thing on him either. Frustrating.
