The only problem I see with this is that the worm isn't coming out to even catch any particles... All I can think of is slowing putting the phyto into the tube. Maybe it will draw him out.

give it a chance the worm will sense the phyto floating and may intice it to come out. i have several worms in my tank and for the most part of the begining days, it stayed inside its tube only peaking out about half an inch. but a few more days of teasing it with food the worm is out all day everyday. btw i fed marine snow. good alternative to live phyto culture

Brightwells makes a few different sizes of food for them I use reef snow and Zooplanktos-m but I use it for my SPS. Out of those sizes of Zoo-plankton so you would need to find the best size for coco worms.
If you find out let me know I aways wanted one but heard they are hard to keep alive.
