Hi everyone, newbie here! My boys have bought their Dad a coco worm, (it has two heads)for Father’s Day, he’s been in tank since Friday but has come out of the tube 3 times already (we have put it back in twice, should we leave it alone? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

How’s your worm?
Had to take him back to lfs, guy there said he had more chance of recovery in the tank he came out of, we will get a small refund if it grows new risoiles. Thank you for asking ❤️

Welcome! I got a coco worm about a month or so ago, and I actually placed him in the middle of my tank with mod flow and light and he took about 30mins to come out fully. I noticed that with shadows or with fish swimming by he'll suck it. The only thing you can do is just have patience. If you don't want to wait for him to find a spot, try to find him some place to tuck the back end of the tub in slightly, and let him just hangout.

Thank you. Rang the lfs he came from, they advised to take him back (he shot of both his risioles) they think it was my pyramid butterfly picking at him, best chance he’s got is in the tank he was happy in so 🤞
