Past few weeks I been looking at these baby snails grow all over my 90g is this going to be a future problem? I only have about 10 snails which I had for about 2 years and never thought these guys would push out 100s of babys
 
I have thousands of them come out when the moon lights are on. Keeps the glass clean. A six or eight line wrasse will get rid of alot of them.
 
If there isn't enough food to support them all some will starve.
Trade some off to your buddy's. :) I'm sure you can find people who can use them.
 
Had thousands of zebra snails and then when added a melanurus, almost all of them mysteriously disappeared.
 
the snails are like you bro,100s of babies lol!
 
my melanarus handles that problem for me too....excellent fish...I am sooooooooo much happier with the Mel over the sixline...My triggers made a feast of the baby snails and astrea stars that would come out at night...but I had to get rid of the triggers so now my wrasse just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
 
Had this "problem" a couple times with my turbos...only once saw one get to a juvenile stage. When little a lot of their foot is exposed making them easy prey for pretty much anything...but especially the wrasses.
 
i just added a sixline wrasse 4 months ago he cut the numbers down by 3/4 even though they didn't bother me its at least keeping him well fed
