How to clean/ QT turbo snails

[armandoarturo]

Hi everyone!
I have some turbo and astrea snails in one aquarium and I would like to move them to my new -clean- aquarium.
There are many things in my previous tank that Ive been trying to avoid: flatworms, valonia algae, vermetid snails, etc, etc…
Is there a way to QT and clean the snails from this hitchhikers??

While they can be quarantined, you can place them in observation tank for 3-5 days then acclimate them as if just purchased

What if I dip them?
Could they be carrying flatworm eggs?

Do not- they will likely not tolerate this well. Flatworms generally lay their eggs Under coral
