Little white cone snails

[Stanton]

I have alot of little tiny white cone shaped "like ceriths" riding on the underside of my turbo's. Anywhere from three to a dozen on a few snails I have caught on the front glass. I've been loosing alot of snails but I figured it was from the big brown flat worm I have seen. I read they ate snails too. Anything danger with the little white snails?

Possibly if you have any clams. Any pic of the snails?

probably parasitic pyramidal snails. They will kill snails and clams as Bcollins mentioned. They are bad guys. Manual removal is the only means to rid yourself of them.

Yah, it's a pain to remove them. Have to be diligent and look over all your snails daily. I heard some wrasses, like the sixline or yellow coris (sp?), will eat the flatworms and pyramid snails. My yellow wrasse has yet to develop a taste for them though...
