Tube worm shed its crown

[Brent F]

Sometimes they just loose them.

Often is is a sign of stress or that the worm is starving.

They sometimes grow the crown back. Other times they die. If it grows it back don't worry unless it loses it again within a month or two.


Good luck

I had a feather duster lose its crown and it is in the process of growing it back. If the worm is healthy you will be amazed at how fast the crown grows back. Just leave it alone and watch. I thought ours was dead at first because all we could see was the tube closed off, but it came around. Give it time.
