Put your clam in a small dish with some sand . The snails burrow in the sand in the daytime . Throw out the sand come day time and scrub and remove them nighttime . Do this until there are no more ! :)

(Also the snails may lay eggs on the sand next to the clam by accident )

Takes about a month to get rid of them but always keep checking

Won't certain wrasses help with this?

Good point for anyone who hasn't read the links :wink:

There are lots of wrasses that eat these little terrors, but they can't get them all from deep inside

I don't have any sand in my tank. It would get blown all over the place anyways.

I couldn't find info on the web to nail down the incubation period of these little buggers

Did it say anything in one of the links ? I must have missed it

From what I can find on the web, they can take anywhere from 3-18 days to hatch - temp dependant ....
The OP in one of those threads said they did it for a month. I was hoping maybe they were just OCD or something but ya I guess if you're watching for the eggs to hatch and then the snails get big enough to see, it takes awhile :neutral:

Does this mean you will have to scrub your clam every day for up to 3 weeks ?

I guess it'll be very clean by then :smile:
