Any inverts that eat vermetids snails?

[Ocean Lotion]

I am looking for a predator that will eat these pita snails. Any inverts that would eat them?

 

[Palyzoa]

I dont know of anything that eats vermitid snails but I've heard a few people say that some types of wrasse's will eat them. The best way I've found to get rid of them is to snap em off with pliers or super glue the opening of the tube shut. Also they seem to dwindle in population if you cut back on feeding. The more you feed the more they reproduce. Hope this helps, GL!

Nothing. I am not aware of anything that will actually eat them. Scrape, cleanse and starve.

Thanks. Guess I will try a 6 line wrasse.

The wrasse might be able to pull the snail out of the shell, but the shells will remain on the rocks. Like Ranjib and Palyzoa said, cut back on feeding and crush the shells.

Will do.

They will most likely starve if you cut down on feeding. Just as I see most critters or coral in this hobby, they come and go.

Someone told me coral banded shrimp, but I’ve never seen it for myself
