Vermetid Snail Problem

[Reeferdood]

I think all the fish need to be removed or some kinda wall to block the beam reflection would have to be crafted. O well I got a sweet 130 dollar laser but wouldn't use it in aquarium with fish.

I have had my laser for over a year and used it several times, no issues with the fish whatsoever. Like I said earlier, try after the lights go off. Also, be careful of the reflection of the beam on the OUTSIDE of the tank! It will reflect a very powerful beam that can blind and burn that way too. This is something that should be done alone with no lookie loos without eye protection.

I thought this was a joke at first hahaha but who knew you could use a laser beam for vermetids. I have hundreds of these thing and would really like to know if it's worth it.

Burning lasers will nuke them.....

You won't be able to get them all with the laser. As long as one survives you will always get more. I had to re-start my tank to get rid of them.

 

[Mr. Brooks]

They are very common. Just an ugly nuisance really. They won't kill anything by themselves but when they get to plague level they are the devil.

I guess I’m just nervous about using them. I certainly don’t want to harm anything else in my tank. For example, there lots of them on my clams, but I’m guessing I shouldn’t burn those right? I do appreciate the idea and certainly respect your opinion and experiences, but I’m tentative about this...

Used a pick to get them off the rocks removed all the corals that had them on it and did a dip. Tried laser seems like a waste of time and money hopefully the ones the I picked didn't have eggs.

Used cutters to remove before I dipped the corals
