Nassarius Snail Overpopulation

[Jimjam]

My Nassarius snail population seems out of control, but wanted to confirm. Have 50 plus in a 24 gallon tank. Started with 7. They breed very quickly. Is that too many? Every once in awhile a blue legged hermit crab gets one. Should I get rid of some? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

my Tiger Pistol shrimp picks them off at about 1 every 2 weeks

You coukd always takes some to lfs for store credit. Seems like good problem to have

50 plus in a 24 gallon aquarium? no wonder they’re breeding quickly every time they turn around they’re on top of another one…I’d scoop a couple dozen out and take them to your lfs and see if they’ll give you store credit or something
