how to transplant a fan worm?

Katie5500

Hello everyone. About a year ago, I planted a fan worm, just covered it with sand, and today I wanted to transplant it, but it has stuck to the rock with the base of its tube. Has anyone had experience with this? How dangerous is it to detach the tube from the rock? It's not an option to remove the rock, as it is the lowest one in the corner against the back wall.

Carefully cut the worm tube with a piece of stone (scrape off the top layer of the stone) without damaging the worm tube. Then, glue it in any place with gel glue. The worm is not deep in the tube, but damaging the tube may cause the fan to drop and lead to death.

A month ago, I moved these indicators to a new one-and-a-half-ton aquarium. I cut the tubes, where I also took a piece from the tubes. I also transplanted them onto stones. Before that, I had torn off all the fans "with the root," gutted the tubes from the mouth. Everything has grown back and quite quickly. In about 4 weeks, the fan is larger than before. Perhaps the new feed for the fans had an effect, but I can't say for sure.
