Every where like how ? Like you see them in that day time all over corals ? These are great scavenger they make me feel at ease when I feed heavy and food falls under rock crevices I know they will make quick work of them, also bristle worms

Stomatella snails are awesome. I’ve never had more than one or two at a time in my tank though.

They are 100% reef safe. They are beneficial for reef aquariums.

They’re good algae eaters. They will continue to reproduce as long as there’s food present, but if there are too many for your tank to support the population will taper off.

Send some my way!

As above their numbers will level out depending on food source

 

[DangerDave]

If you have that many, remove and sell some. Nice easy way to generate cash for frags!
