Coco Worm Questions

[FishAreCool]

I like the look of coco worms after deciding against a sea cucumber. I have a few questions to start with if anybody can help me.

1. Are they hard to care for
2. Could one fit in a 16 gallon biocube

No and yes.

Easy answers. Powdered coral food is plenty to feed them. If they loose their crown, they are not getting fed enough.

i’d also add that phyto can also be used to feed them as well.

Is 80 degrees a good temp for one?

80 is at the upper end of the reef. It's fine, but I wouldn't let it get too much warmer.

77-78 is optimal. but the wider range is about 72-80

Where can they be bought? Reefcleaners?
