Vernetid snails explosion!!!

[roggy23]

I have so many of these things growing in my 180 gallon. I recently introduced 25 bumme bee snails and I know it will take time, but was wondering if there are any habits I can implore to help rid tank of these things..

TIA

I have delt with these in the past, had two types thrive then fall the smaller ones were easier to eliminate and went away with lower feeding and addition of a melanurus (I got lucky I think ) the larger I had to physically crush the skeleton tubes allowing my wrasse to finish the job. I’ve heard the snails do work well

Not really other than having strong mechanical filtration and limiting particulate food. Manual crushing is very satisfying.

I remove with pliers but as stated- Crushing is fun and leaves you with a sense of accomplishment.
I have bumblee bee snails and dont see where they help with issue at all
