So I recently moved my C. clarithorax colony from a test tube to a gypsum nest and now most of the workers have died off. In the beginning I over watered the nest a little so could that be the cause of the die off?

How many workers did the colony have? I'd guess it was too small yet to cope with the conditions of a larger nest.
Overwatering usually doesn't affect ants as long as it doesn't lead to a huge mold outbreak.
We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.

Before they had around 15 workers but now they’re down to one, plus the queen. However that one worker seems fine.
