vermetid snail control

[jlinzmaier]

OK, I've been crushing vermetid snails for about a month now and I've decided there has to be a better way of controlling them. My CBB either isn't eating them or can't keep up. I'm tired of corals being irritated by the webs that they put out and my corals growing in odd patterns because their growing around vermetids. Are there any other natural predators that anyone can suggest?? (reef safe - parrot fish may fix the problem but will definately cause other problems!!)

I've always just filled their openings with kalk paste

That's how I took care of mine also. Just injected every tube.

If your going to inject every one you may as well just crush them with a forecepts - faster in my opinion. My point is I've been crushing them for a month (crushing them at the base and ensuring the worm inside is squished) and they keep reproducing.

Are there any known reef safe predators besides the CBB???

I would also like to know about predation. My tank is infested and I am planning an upgrade. I do not want them in my new display so it looks like I might have to either cook the rock or buy new.

Anyone know what might eat them?
