Coco worm... Care?

What kind of special care, if any, does a coco worm need? My LFS has some really nice ones and was thinking about getting one, but I want to research more before I decide to buy.

I've had one for about 6 weeks and it's already extended the length of its tube about 3/4".
I don't do anything special. Just keep it in low/moderate flow. It's a filter feeder, so between what I clean off my glass with the magfloat and the cyclop-eeze and oyster eggs I feed my corals, it seems to be thriving.

They thrive in tanks that are mature and high in nutrients. If you have a newly established tank then you want to consider adding the supplements that pbnj mentioned.
I have had a coco worm for about 6 months now. Once or twice a week I add DT's phytoplankton to the tank. My coco worm dropped it's crown and a month later a new one appeared.
