Will Interceptor Kill Vermetid Snails?

[MinibowMatt]

I have an infestation of vermetid snails. I have a 50g mixed reef with a few easier sps that are doing fine, with no sign of redbugs. However, I need to get rid of these snails..
So those of you who have used interceptor, did it kill these guys too? What other effects has it had on your LPS/Softies?

It would have to be a very heavy dose of Interceptor and it might kill them. If you want to be sure, do a HEAVY dose of both Flatworm Exit and Interceptor. Make sure you do no less than 25% water change the next day along with some fresh carbon.

super glue over the holes. Or just let them be.

unfortuntely interceptor doesn't kill them.

Well, if it needs to be that extensive to kill them, I may not try it..

As for glue, too many, and cant see them easily from up top.

Only way I have found is scraping them off one at a time... I had a bunch there for a while... I took all the rock out and used a hammer and chisel to get the majority... I have a few pop up from time to time and use a screwdriver to knock them off... My Christmas wrasse follows me around and cleans up for me...

Thats what I normally do, but it is almost time for drastic action. The club meeting is in a few weeks at my place and I need to clean house!

I am thinking about a CBB to take care of the young ones, and maybe a wrasse to help out...I know the CBB will not be an end all, but the last one I had (over a year ago) did do a very good job helping out with them.

I'm wondering if Magnesium would have an effect on them. Not sure how related they are to snails, but I have found some snails die off with Mag above 1600ppm for extended periods of time.

if you try it, please post your results....

I crush them with my sisters high dollar tweezers! Works great!

Didn't bother reading through the posts but i can say definitively that it won't.
