Astera snails reproducing

[Flosscadub]

Help!!! There's about 200-500 the size of BBs
I'm infested! Anyone know how to get rid of them or at least to kill most of the population?
I tried siphon but not fast enough
Any reef safe fish will eat them all. It actually look kind of nasty.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks happy reefing!!

Are you sure you're not seeing collonista snails? They are a highly beneficial part of the night time clean up crew. As you can tell they reproduce quite well. Their population is regulated by the availability of food...film algae.

I would love to see some pics of these.

The little round dots are all the snails
They're all I've my rock all over the glass everywhere

No way to ID with this picture. Try to get some clearer images.

That would be my guess, too.

Give them time... If it's the algae that they're feeding on, they'll eventually run out and mostly die off. Just do lots of water changes when that happens.
