Not staying put:
Tube worms will not care for being rolled around on the bottom of an aquarium by currents, or just lying flat on the sand as it can prevent them from feeding. Instead, they should be placed in the rockwork where they will stay put, should be glued to a substrate, or should have part of their tube buried in sediments to hold them in place.
不要就让管虫平躺在沙上,被水流冲击位移。粘在岩石/基质上,也可以试着埋一部分身体在沉积物中 (译注: 为什么不直接说沙子?)
If placing a large tube worm in a crack or crevice in rockwork, be sure that you do not crimp, pinch, or bend the tube to make it stay put. This will surely make the tube's inhabitant unhappy. Depending on it's size, you'll also need to keep at least an inch or two of the tube sticking out to make sure the worm can fully extend its crown without having it in direct contact with the rock. Remember they move water from the bottom up and probably won't like having the bottom-side of their crown cramped in between some rocks.
管不要弯折。位置应该保证有足够的空间让冠完全展开。由于滤食水流是由下向上,冠基部要处于开放区
Clusters of worms can also be glued to rock or shells by using some gel-type superglue. Clusters can be turned over, dabbed with glue, and then stuck wherever you like. The glue will set/stick, even underwater. Just be sure that you do not accidentally glue the worms shut in their tubes, or glue them to your fingers!
需要粘的话一般的粘珊瑚的胶状胶水就可以(后面是常见的注意事项。。)
Lastly, if you have a deep enough sand/gravel bed you can try burying the tube, while leaving some of it sticking out. Again, depending on the worm's size, you'll need to leave plenty of tube out so that the worm can fully extend its crown.
埋在沙床中的注意事项和粘在岩石上是一样的(保留开放区域)
Bailing out: 脱管
It isn't common, but every once in a while some tube worms may decide to crawl out of their tube and do a little adventure traveling. However, you should not try to shove a worm back into its tube if this happens, as you will be putting it back where it obviously didn't want to be, and likely kill it in the process. Keep in mind that a worm is basically a soft, unprotected meal at such times, so if one decides to leave its home there must be a reason. Possibilities range from unfavorable currents that prevent it from capturing food to being nibbled at by some small predator. The good news is that if nothing eats them, they can sometimes find a location where they are happier and can build a new tube. So, as bad as it may look, the best thing to do is leave them alone.
尽管不常见,偶尔管虫会爬出管子。切勿把他们塞回去。管虫在这个状况下极易受伤。它如果需要脱管,原环境一定是不能容忍了。 通常是由于不适当的水流导致饥饿,或者被捕食者骚扰。如果他们能安全到达合适地点,他们会分泌出新的管子。此时不要干涉他们
Loosing the crown: 脱冠
On occasion a tube worm will decide to dump its crown. Yes, the whole thing. The entire crown just comes loose and you'll find it sitting on the bottom somewhere nearby. This would seem to be a sure sign of death, but amazingly enough, they can grow them back. So don't pull out the tube! It may take a couple of weeks, but typically the crown will grow back. The new crown may be significantly smaller than before, though.
管虫也会把整个冠部脱落。这不是死亡的信号,通常几周内就会长回来。新冠一开始会比原来的小
I don't know of any "proven" reason they do this, although it has been suggested that it is a sign of starvation and/or water quality problems. Those two things get the blame for most anything anyway. It is likely a bad omen if a worm does this repeatedly, and of course, there are times when the worm doesn't extend its crown because it is actually dead, too. But, you'll likely see nothing of the worm at all instead of finding the separated crown in such cases.
脱冠原因还未被证实,可能的原因包括饥饿和水质问题。但是基本缸里的大部分问题都归结到这两条。如果重复脱冠,问题就严重了
Being eaten:被吃
Yes, tube worms are part of the menu for some other animals. So, if you think you want the worms, better make sure that you take care of any incompatibility issues. Many sorts of butterfly fishes will eat them, as will a number of wrasses, and the flame hawkfish (Neocirrhites armatus) likes 'em, too. Then there are a number of crabs that will tear them up, and even some serpent stars will make a meal of them, as well. Fortunately, almost all butterflies, many wrasses, and the vast majority of crabs are not considered to be welcome in reef-type aquariums anyway, but you do need to be particularly wary of the hawks and serpents, as they are commonly keep in such tanks.
部分仙和隆头鱼会吃管虫,火焰仙也可能吃。蟹和蛇海星也会吃管虫 (译注:我也怀疑我的管虫是被蛇海星吃的,卖鱼的老头免费送了我一堆蛇海星,然后管虫就开始断须了,但是半夜查过几次还没有直接看到过)
Starving to death:饿死
Well, this should be an obvious one by this point. These worms eat relatively tiny foods and most aquariums simply cannot support them. If you have a reef aquarium with a deep sand/mud bed or some sort of refugium set-up you may be fine, but for most aquarists there is no sure-fire way to keep these worms alive. Even using high-quality "plankton in a bottle" may not work at all.
这个问题很直接,很多缸提供不了管虫需要的细小事物。理想情况是有藻缸或者没有藻缸但是主缸有沙/泥床。有时商品浮游植物都不管用
As mentioned, these different types of worms can be exceptionally picky about what they eat, therefore one type may absolutely love one food product while the same stuff may do absolutely nothing for another type of worm. Some (especially the smaller ones that eat the tiniest foods) may reproduce prolifically in reef aquariums when fed nothing at all, while others will slowly starve even if given a bath in food. Thus, you may try several different types of worms and have great success with some and no success with others. Unfortunately, in most any case it will be trial and error, unless you are able to provide an adequate supply of a wide range of food sizes - and that isn't easy. So, if you aren't ready to do this one way or another, I strongly suggest you leave all of these worms alone.
如前所述,有些管虫极为挑食。有些管虫能吃的其他种类可能根本不吃。小管虫可能不用管就能在缸里大量繁殖,另一些如果不是喜欢的食物,泡在里面都会饿死。不幸的是,现在能做的只有不断尝试,扩大食物大小范围 (译注:成功例子看上面余溪大大的回帖)
As a last note about these worms and food, do remember that they create currents that carry food from the underside of the crown/radioles to the upper side. So, if you choose to target feed a worm using a syringe full of plankton, don't squirt it at the worm from the top. It won't work! Instead, you can gently squirt such foods towards a worm from the side in such a way that the worm can direct particles upwards through the radioles in the proper manner.
记得水流是从下往上流,喂食的话用注射器从背面慢喂
Some shopping tips: If you do have a system that employs a well-stocked deep substrate bed and/or you use specialty foods for filter-feeders and want to try a tube worm, or a few, you still need to be careful when shopping. Choosing the best specimens is always a good way to improve your chances for success.
购买时注意:
When you go shopping, the most obvious thing to look for is a worm(s) with a fully-extended crown. If it is only partially extended for the tube, or not "fanned out", the worm may be in poor health. If it is well-extended you need to give it a good looking over for any missing radioles or any other apparent damage that looks like it might lead to troubles.
购买时一定要确定冠能全开,这是健康的标志。全开的冠还有助于确认有没有损伤
You should also try to test an apparently healthy worm, just to make sure. These worms have eyes of various complexity here and there, and they are also very sensitive to touch. Thus, they should respond to a shadow passing overhead and/or a light touch by quickly retreating to safety in their tube. So, if they are out and you wave your hand (or something else) just over them and block the light, or give them a light touch on the crown, they should jerk into their tube. If they don't, there may be trouble.
管虫有感光点,而且碰触敏感。健康的管虫当有阴影突然覆盖或者被碰触的的时候应该会立刻缩回去,做不到的可能有健康问题
Speaking of the tube, take a good look at it, too. Many worms with soft tubes may have some damage which can be repaired without too much trouble, but if their tube is torn up badly the worm inside may have unseen injuries from whatever event tore up the tube. The same goes for worms with hard tubes, and they can take much, much longer to repair a damaged tube, as well. So, it is really better to just choose a different specimen if you see such damage.
软管虫的管壁破损不是严重问题,会自然修复。只要管子没有明显折过的痕迹就好.硬管虫的管壁破损是问题,因为修复期漫长
Lastly, as is the case with most things marine, try to keep a chosen specimen submerged from tank to tank. They have void space in their tube and when they are lifted out of water the tube fills with air. Then, when re-submerged some air bubbles may be trapped in the tube, which can create problems.
购买时还要注意管中不要被空气充满,有些管虫会被困住
That's about it. Again, I must stress that if you are not prepared to make sure they are getting enough of the appropriate food, leave them alone. However, if you will do what it takes - enjoy.
