Hello. I re-started my 60G tank a year and a half ago and somehow(probably through a frag), vermetid snails got into my tank and now they've literally taken over most of my rock work. I was using reefroids for 2 weeks and now have stopped entirely and only feed frozen food once every other day.

I know it's impossible to get rid of them but is there any way of controlling them?

I also noticed that they are leaving behind a layer of dust/detritus on my rock work as well. Is the dust/detritus from the web they release? Any help is appreciated! Pics below/attached.

I have had success with bubblebee snails, they have declined my population considerably
