slug on zoos-friend or foe?

[cook]

I just found this guy on my zoos that are not opening. It did not look like he was eating them. This is like a slug but has a partial shell. Anyone know what it is?

Also, does anyone know the best way to kill pyramid snails?

Thanks Darren, I have lots of em and was wondering if I should be pulling them out. I feel so much better now!

Yeah, I have a few too... I freaked out when I got a frag with one on there in my frag tank... Pulled it off, and then realized I already had a few in my display tank's sump... Glad there good little boys...

Yep they are good cleaner snails. The more you have the merrier your tank!

Thanks for the info.

They sure are ugly little suckers though!

Pyramidal snails are tough to deal with. Sixlines are supposed to take care of them, but mine doesn't even notice they are there. Also the yellow coris wrasse is supposed to do a good job of getting rid of them.

pyramid snails wouldn't be bothering zoas. Clams yes.. Zoas no.

Plus this is a great little herbivore.
