Snails eating my zoos?

[jrod11]

I have some new zoos that I added a while ago and i noticed that very small snails are cruising around and eating the new zoo polyps that are starting to form. what should i do?

he's referring to a "zoa" or another words... a Zoanthid. Often people will call them a "zoo."

I checked that http://www.melevsreef.com/id/ and I am pretty sure it is a sundial snail. what now?

Get them out ASAP as soon as you see them. They are not reef safe and are known to be zoa eaters.

Is there a fish that is a preditor to these snails?

That from what I've heard. Just watch your tank day and night and when you see them, just pull them out.
