My tube worms feathers are usually touching the little jagged parts on the sides of each feather. Normally there's no space between them. Lately, they've looked really skinny. He doesn't look as happy. I put phyto and zoo plankton in every 4-5days and coral nutrition every 2nd day. I've had him for about 2 years now

He lost his fan shortly after. They just sort of started looking scraggly, not as nice...
 
It's about the size of a big finger nail
