Would any one tell me how to get rid of Vermetid snails?
They are growing like weed. They border me because every time I feed coral, they send out a web-like feeding strand that irritate nearby corals. I could break the shell of the big one, but now they are so many tiny vermetid snails that I couldn't reach them.
 
The way I deal with them is I grab a pair of cheap $1 pliers (dollar tree) and snap/crush all the ones I can see and get to, the small ones I dab a bit of super glue on the tube; not sure how to deal with tiny ones with our breaking down the scape and removing the rocks one by one and scrubbing them with a steel / metal brush... ( grill brush, again $1, dollar tree) while keeping them submerged in salt water ( kiddy pool bucket, wash basin, mud sink)

I treated to hear what others come up with.
