Collonista are harmless little guys. I've had them before but they always tend to eventually reduce numbers or go away entirely.

I totally agree they are harmless but they are everywhere!!!!

Don't hate the happy little guys!

Honestly though, I've had them by the tons then had them just vanish.

Like others said, they're harmless. However, I did read about a guy who had so many of them pile up in his ATO float switch it got stuck on .

If you really want to introduce some population control, wrasses will eat them. I'd say go for a sixline wrasse but with an 18 gallon I'm not sure I'd put one in there. They can also be a-holes and problem causers of their own

Hunter (evolved) would be the guy I'd ask about the sixline
