How do I get rid of Vermetid Snails?

[Eddie79]

I have a bunch of Vermetid snails on my live rock. What is the best way to get rid of them?

crush or superglue, they are hard to eliminate totally since there are likely some in places you cant see and can reproduce asexually.

Use a knitting needle and smash their shells all the way down to the rock. I hate those things.

another alternative would be a wrasse depending on the size of ur tank... They will keep them suckers at bay

i have a long kite rail made of fiberglass for smashing them. the big ones get superglue. I hates them.

Don't these reproduce quicker in dirtier tanks? If your levels are high, try lowering the amount of nutrients.

These suckers are all over my tank. And we introduced on a pc of frogspawn for another reefer. I was a noob at that point and didnt think anything of it. A year later they took over!!!! So i just wait til i see a bunch that poped up and i just go to town and smash all i can see. I have a 29gal so idk if a wrasse would be an option, i also have two damsels that kill everything. So until i get those out ill just keep smashing away. I will pay anyone to come over and trap these suckers! I cant catch em.
