Reef Safe fish that eats sundial snails?

[twist of lime]

Is there any reef safe fish that eats sundial snails but not corals or other fish? I have recently discovered that I have sundial snails and need to get them out asap befor they eat all my zoas . Is there any natural preditor that would work?

I dont have any experience with it but ive heard that Copper Band Butterfly fish will eat them.

I think you are going to have to pick them out by hand. i have never heard anything that eats sundials

I need somthing that will eat them, the tank is 6ft long, 28 inch deep, and 3 ft tall. I can't even reach the bottem of the tank. It's impossible to pick them all off.

Halichoeres wrasses

my old yellow coris wrasse ate any type of small snails/abalone

The yellow "coris" wrasse is probably the best halichoeres sp. for the average reef tank. Melanurus wrasses are really good too. A halichoeres sp. wrasse can do wonders in a reef, but remember that they won't ever get rid of all the snails.

I just need somthing that can get them under control then I'll start picking off the ones that I can. Will a yellow coris wrasse bully fairy and flasher wrasses? What if the corris wrasse is added first?

My yellow coris is extremely docile. He never seems to even notice that there are other fish in the tank with him. You don't need to worry much about aggression with these wrasses.
