Guess I got ripped off. He said he could sell it for 200 which I knew was BS, but he sold it to be for 50 it's a big rock.

Pretty. I've not had long term luck with Xmas Tree Worms.

Ditto. Over time they slowly disappear, one by one.

I believe they need fairly high nutrients (suspended particulates) to thrive.

Maybe target feeding would help?

that might be a good idea... i searched around and found an article on how to correctly target feed them. You have to slowly send the phytoplankton or zooplankton from a pipette to the sides/as close to the bottom of the worm as possible. Im going to purchase some of both and use a pipette to try this. Hopefully i can push it out slow enough that the worms wont retract. Ill keep you all updated.
