    My Coco worm has lost both head about 3 days ago. How long until I should take him out of the water? I don't know if the worm inside will foul the water.

    where did the heads go? it is possible that the worm will regrow them, might be due to water quality

    Its hard to bring them back from that, sorry to say.

    Depending on how mature the tank is, how big the worm is, and how big the tank is.. you might leave it in there and the system can absorb the death if that happens.

    What do your params look like?

    I took him out last night. All parameters are good. I read they only live 6 months anyway. They need more nutrients in the water. I think my Aqua C Skimmer pulled everything out.
