Tube, Vermatid snails..

[Naterade86]

Is anyone aware of any fish or inverts that's will eat these little buggers. I purchased a rock a while back that I was told had a bunch of feather dusters on it. They are no feather dusters. Instead it'd these annoying tube snails. Some new diamond gobys I added are really mixing up the bottom and these things are everywhere...please help

I've seen my copperbands occasionally slurp one out, and my vermatid population has leveled off. But I wouldn't necessarily say that they will keep it in check

Thanks I'm trying to get some helpful tips I removed some manually but there's so many. I was going a little critter would enjoy
them

I have limited experience with Vermetid snails, but I've have couple of varieties.

If you are filter feeding and your tank allows, I would cut back or fully stop for this for a week or more. I did this last week and have noticed a decline in vermetid web production since then and will hopefully reduce the population to acceptable levels. Prevention is the best route.
