pick em off at night, or brush them off rather with a toothbrush, yes there they should be fine out of the water for a few moments but that would probably be the most effective way, otherwise pick em by hand, make sure you hunt about an hour after lights go off as they are nocturnal predators. There should be a link in this about removal of pryamids maybe someone will chime in with it.

Don't let your clam attach at first. If it attached, cut it loose. What I do is to take the clam out, break all the flutes and clean the clan. I put them on a sand bed so they don't attache and tale them out every few days until they are clean. After that I take them out weekly for several weeks until no more is detected.
After that just observation and make sure they don't get re-infected with new stock, and watch for maybe two that I missed (they can't reproduce unless there are two)
After my first clam was killed by these snails, I never have another that died due to this problem. Natural solution does not work for me.
