Anything eat vermatid snails?

[subman]

I am having a problem with vermatid snails, I used to have a couple but now that I've upgraded to a bigger tank they have exploded they are growing in bunches. I would like to find its natural predator. Any ideas?

I usually just go to town with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. Just crush their shell at its base/midsection and drive the screwdriver into the mouth of their tube. They don't have the amazing regenerative powers of, say Aiptasia or hydroides. A few good smashing sessions will eradicate them.

The problem is they are past the point of a few, I would guess there are a few hundred now :twised:

Do u think over feeding may be a problem

Easily fixed with a large water change. At least 110%

Salt or fresh

No if anything im on the low side of the feeding scale, I set my auto feeder and don't feed any extra.

Did some reading

Coral banded shrimp and bumble bee snails are said to work

[subman]

That makes sense actually my son's tank has none, and he has both of those in his tank. interesting..
Thanks Nick
