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?

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:
