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

Good point for anyone who hasn't read the links

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.
