Vermetid Snails help!!!

[bsr2430]

Here we go with these again....
Mine are reproducing and reproducing.....

I have a 100% coral only tank. Feed reef roids once a week.
How can I kill these! There’s to many to glue up.... I heard Bumble Bee snails will work but there aren’t any here local.
Has anyone successfully killed these or starved them to death? I already feed very small and somehow they’re still going strong?
Today I was cleaning a pump out of the water and was able to catch one out of his shell.

I've read the most reliable way is to get a pair of tongs or clippers or whatever tool you want to use and smash them. Otherwise the only other way I know of is getting bumblebee snails and from what I understand that's kinda of a long shot.

So for myself I invested on a brigade of bumblebee snails, but first went to manual removal as much as possible. (for my coral QT)

I would pull the frag/rock and get the bone cutters to the tuber of the vermitid. I would go to the lowest part of the base that I could and clip off. Afterwards, I would put super flue directly into that spot on top as well to ensure I shut that one out..

I have heard some cool stories of Yellow Coris Wrasses eating them as well. Hope this helps!

I’m going to try and find somewhere and order some bumble bee snails and a melanarus wrasse.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I also have this problem

I just wish they’d have something where you can just kill them all. They’re freaking ugly looking.
