Is there any chance against Vermited snails?

[Spare time]

They tend to like particulate food like reef roids so if you feed that you can cut down and stick with a dissolved food (I don't think they can take in raw aminos and such but I have never heard anyone mention that)

Hey you can't make up your own quote under my name!

Anyways I hear that alot about corals (not fish though). As long as they aren't actually touching a coral they are great filter feeders. I have had the big ones and the small ones for many years and they are welcome clean up crew here

Not here. The greedy little buggers make webs all around my YWG cave and he struggles to get food. They are unsightly and they just make a mess of the tank. No thanks. I periodically go on assassination missions with a tube of super glue. If I can, I knock down the tube. Either way, I fill the hole with glue to rid the tank of the little thieves. My YWG PeekAtYou is my favorite fish and he will just not swim through the webs.
I have bumble bee snails but they have never gone near the rockwork, totally sand dwellers.

That sounds like a normal timeframe for vermetids to disappear on their own, at least IME

Then I need to tell my six line to get to work.

I do recall them being pests many years ago but their population died down significantly and nowadays they don't bother anything. Except my hands occasionally

I used to have a bunch of the small ones. I didn’t notice they had mostly disappeared until I moved my Valentini puffer to a different tank and they started to increase in population again. Could just be coincidence. I never actually saw the fish eat them.

Just so ya know. It was moved to another tank for getting too nippy with my Duncans and candy canes. Lived peacefully in my reef for well over a year before it decided to like corals. Almost moved the corals instead lol. Love that fish.
now I have 2 tanks.....

Darn.... LOL
I had a Vallentini very briefly. I had a red legged hermit crab named Crabzilla that ate him in his sleep. It was horrible. He was such a cute little fellow. Crabzilla is now passed away - RIP. My tank is mostly softies, so I think I'd be good. I figure a Vallentini is the safest choice of puffers. I just need to keep it fat and happy so it doesn't wipe out my whole cleaning crew. If it wants to target Vermetids.... we can be friends.

There’s a guy I follow on YouTube with absolutely stunning sps packed tank that has hordes of vermetid snails to no ill effect. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Bumblebee snails do work on the smaller ones.
They have this snout like thing wich is white and like 1/2 inch or longer.So they are able to get down to the base of the vermetids.
