Baby Snails

[mjoener]

These are my many BABY snails!
I have plenty of snails already!
How do I get rid of these snails?

 

[KUDA]

Can you get a close up of the snails? I would be glad if my snails multiplied.

 

[mjoener]

they are so small i can't! those are them, all of those little dots! They're not Turbos but they are the snails that came with my LR.

If you can't take a better picture, look up a picture of a collonista.

What kind of lighting do you have? Are you feeding your anemone? It looks really bleached.

Best of luck,

Roy

The snails are helpful grazers. Why would you want to get rid of them? They can fit into areas which other snails cannot. In time their population should stabilize and you will see fewer of them.

o ok thats what i was afraid of... mass population and then non beneficial die off.

Are you sure they are snails and not spirobid worms?

 

[graveyardworm]

If they are in fact baby snails and you really feel the need to remove them then pick them out. There are some fish which may eat them. Look into the wrasse family. Chances are you wont get rid of all of them, and if a fish eats them it has to poop them out.

positive that they're snails
