How long ??

[Sunshine]

How long do Coco Worms and Cleaner Clams live ? Got up yesterday and both were dead. I don't know if it's because of the problems I've been having with my Zoas dying or if they just don't live that long.

Coco Worms In the aquarium it is difficult to maintain, and will need supplements of phytoplankton and liquid organic foods.

They are long lived:

Shedding the crown
Many varieties of feather dusters periodically shed their crown, leaving the novice aquarist horrified and believing the precious creature has died. Don't remove the tube! The feather duster will re-grow its crown in a matter of weeks. Sometimes shedding of the crown is an indication of starvation or that something about the environment is irritating. If the occurrence is infrequent, it is nothing to worry about. If it occurs every couple of months, there may be an aggravating factor.


Cleaner Clams:
I am not sure but if they are like other clams a very long time. Hopefully someone else will know more!
