Hard Tube Coco Worm
The Hard Tube Coco Worm, also known as the Hard Tube Feather Duster, Protula Tubeworm, or Red Coco Tubeworm, has a crown that can be white, yellow, orange, pink, or red. The radioles may be banded or patterned. Younger Hard Tube Coco Worms have bi-lobed crowns, while the crowns of older individuals are spiraled. Coco Worms live within a calcium tube which can only be sustained in an established aquarium with good water conditions. Also the Coco Worm requires phytoplankton and other nutrients that makes it more challenging. This is not a beginner fish, or worm, or whatever you wish to call it.

About Hard Tube Coco Worm
The Hard Tube Coco Worm (Protula bispiralis) is a large feather duster that builds a white, calcium-based tube and extends a twin spiral crown in red, orange or white. It is not a coral but a filter-feeding worm that strains plankton from the water. It retracts in an instant when startled.
Hard Tube Coco Worm care at a glance
- Lighting: Any – light is not important
- Water flow: Low to moderate flow that carries food past the crown
- Placement: Wedged upright in rockwork with the crown in open water
- Feeding: Dose phytoplankton or fine liquid foods several times a week
- Care level: Moderate – needs regular feeding and stable calcium
Keep the water stable at 24 to 26°C and salinity 1.025, and feed on a regular schedule. Animals that do not rely on light decline slowly if meals are missed, so consistency matters more than quantity.
