Vermetid snails

I have these guys EVERYWHERE! How can I rid them off my corals?

I’ve never seen them that thick, but superglue the ends closed.

There are a few posts on this. Here is a link to another one that has a few different options available. Bumble Bee snails, KZ Coral snow, AptasiaX, Glue and scraping are all options. I have used scraping and glue with minor success. They just seem to pop up again elsewhere.

They exploded and I dont want to put them in my new setup. Im gonna need alot of glue lol

I would try the coral snow or bumble bee snails. Sounds like people have some success with those two options.

Yes, I will read up on the coral snow and get some bumble bee snails as well. Thank you for the help.

I would scrape, dip and then qt in a seperate water column. Then bust out the glue for any survivors.

Would coral rx work on these?

Would coral rx work on these?

Don’t think so, I have two frags each growing a single that I need to pull out and glue. All my frags were dipped with a heavy rx dose

dang I dont know how I would glue all these, I have hundreds. I guess scrapping would be a better bet.

I just dipped a few dozen corals in bayer on Saturday. I have a few verm tubes and I dont see them coming out. They might still be there though. Not sure yet. I did pull a bristle about 4-5" long. He was completely shocked and barely moved. I dipped for 30-40 min long.
