Intentionally introducing sundial snails

[marie]

I have a sundial snail in my rock tank that I'm keeping alive....the nice thing about these snails, they are easy to see and remove.

I wouldn't worry about them taking over your tank unless you want to turn it into a zoa tank of course

just an update - the idea failed miserably. The sundial snails completely ignored the ugly zoos and made a straight line for the nice zoos on the opposite side of the tank! So they ended up in the freezer (to be disposed of humanely, though they don't deserve itm the little buggers!)

can anyone recmmend a fish or other organism that will eat zoos?

You're not able to baste them with hot water?

We have a three spot angelfish (flagfin) that is a Zoa exterminator!

We had a bristle tail filefish that was purchased to eat aptaisa, and all it ate were zoas, might be worth a try. If I remember correctly, it was under $20 from a lfs in Vancouver.

Here is a bio on them from Live Aquaria: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...62&pcatid=2562

thanks for the info, I think I'll just stick it out for now! (until all my precious acros are covered with plain zoos!)

The aptaisa control takes them out I tried to kill a few that were in my zoes and it took out the surrounding ones as well. Might be worth a shot.
You could try some zoe eating nudies they should not be to hard to come by.
