christmas tree worm

garyw68 · 03/26/2007, 04:45 AM

My christmas tree worm came out of its tube and now I cant find it. Since I know nothing about them, will it pose a threat to anything? Should I try to find it?

Thanks in advance.

That's true for feather dusters but not for christmas trees. If a CTW is missing it's probably been eaten or died from other causes.

I just noticed last night that one of my hermit crabs was bothering one of my CTWs and now he is gone. I kept a close eye on them for weeks to make sure that there weren't any problems but as soon as I stopped watching "bam." I got two batches of hermits and the second batch are the meanest. They killed some of the first batch and now they're going after my pretty worms. I think it's time for them to go to quarentine.
