Snails on clams!!! Too many!!!

[KH971]

I have 2 croceas, and have noticed at night the dreaded snails!!! There are too many and only come out at night!!! I know people tell 6 line wrasses, and taking the clams out at night to scrub them off. Is there any other invert that eats them? My tank is 31 inches tall so taking them out each night is too much, and it would take forever for me to get rid of them that way. I first noticed them on my astrea snails hanging on were they attacking them also? Is there any invert that eats them????

Please help!!!

some wrasses will eat them but wont get rid of them. if you want to get rid of them you have to do it.

A twinspot wrasse will take care of them pretty quick, but unfortunately won't stay small.

I've seen them hanging on my astrea snails are they attacking them also?

OH my lord!!! Vampires of the tank!!! I don't want to put in a sixline, but what other choice do i have, that and scrapeing them off!!

wrasses will only control them at best. you need to take them out and brush them
