Hard Tube Coco worm question

[todd141]

Just how much flow do these animals need? I've seen some places that say low flow, others say medium.

I can't take any pics right now, but mine is doing great, had him for almost a year but sometimes i think the flow might be too much. It comes from "behind" him so it's not squashing his crown. It just seems like a lot to me sometimes.

I've had my 75 gallon tank set up for about a year and a half, so I'm still a noobie at all of this stuff.

Thanks for any insight.

Also - what does "low flow", "medium flow" and "high flow" really mean? I have 2 koralias at each end of my tank and there's water movement everywhere.

If he's closed up, he's not happy. I've had these critters that hated flow, and others that thrived in hurricane force.

Anthony Calfo suggests placing power heads at the top of the tank, and aiming them toward the opposite bottom to create a X effect of water streams. Your worm might like this indirect flow.

He's never closed up, so he must be enjoying the current flow.

Thanks for replying.
