vermatid snail infestation

You can try this purpose made tool for large scale removal - the 3-spike rasp end removes them and crushes the whole snail, rather than just the tubes - which grow back. The other end has a hook and blade for sniping individuals. Takes perserverence, and its hard to completely eradicate them since they tend to get into your pipes and other areas you can't access. https://reefeco.com/products/reeftool

Interesting - would I have to remove every single one in a single swoop in order for this to work?

I don't think you'll ever get them all, but periodic eradication sessions as part of your maintenance routine is likely the ticket.
