snail problem

I'd really like to grow some gracillaria and ulva in my fuge. But I'm having a problem with strombus snails. They reproduce by the thousands and eat all the algae faster than I can grow it.

Calupera is taking over the fuge (and now cropping up in the display). And I don't want to grow calupera.

Any suggestions on getting rid of these tiny snails. I must have 500 1/8" snails. Seriously thinking about acclimating a brackish puffer and tossing him in the fuge. But from my brackish experience, he'll eat himself to death.
 
Considering a lot people like strombus, I'd suggest removing them by hand and trading them to local reefer's ;)
