Anything eat vermatid snails?
 

I am having a problem with vermatid snails, I used to have a couple but now that I've upgraded to a bigger tank they have exploded they are growing in bunches. I would like to find its natural predator. Any ideas?

Me too.

I will on occasion but im not reef safe , i think a yellow corris wrasse will too.

One of my Fav wrasses. But I can say mine never did

I have a red coris but I can't say Ive ever seen him eat one

now I know where i got mine from!!!

:rofl2:

My old copperband did mine in back in the day....

oddly enough my redsea sailfin tang does.
he goes nutz over them
keep in mind he like a few different snails also.

I usually just go to town with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. Just crush their shell at its base/midsection and drive the screwdriver into the mouth of their tube. They don't have the amazing regenerative powers of, say Aiptasia or hydroides. A few good smashing sessions will eradicate them.

The problem is they are past the point of a few, I would guess there are a few hundred now :twised:

Do u think over feeding may be a problem

Easily fixed with a large water change. At least 110%

Salt or fresh

No if anything im on the low side of the feeding scale, I set my auto feeder and don't feed any extra.

Did some reading

Coral banded shrimp and bumble bee snails are said to work

That makes sense actually my son's tank has none, and he has both of those in his tank. interesting..
Thanks Nick

bumble bees will also eat your zoas;)

Every great journey begins with one step.
