Vermetid Snail

[Olby Toribio]

Hello, My Rocks and full of vermetid snail right now, I was wondering if there anything that will take care of it
or it's just better to buy new rocks?

Their are several things you can do to control them, like super gluing them, putting epoxy on them, I heard Bumblebee snails will eat them, but I am not sure if anything really exists that will totally get rid of them once they are in your tank. Unless you want to redo you aquascape, buying new rock isn't necessary. I usually just use a small flathead screwdriver and break them off at the base. Its kinda a pest you learn to live with.

Cut back on feeding, eradicate where you can. Eventually you will start to see their numbers die down.

I noticed vermetid snails starting to multiply in my tank about a month ago and so I got a bumblebee snail yesterday. I put it straight onto a shady rock ledge where there were a few of the vermetids. It seemed to hang around there but I wasn't sure if it was doing anything.. until now! Just snapped this pic, it is literally perched on the tube of a vermetid. Yay! However I noticed that it doesn't break the tubes at all, so maybe this is why people don't think they are doing anything (?)
