Vermetid snail. To get rid of it you have to break his cacoon and physically remove the body. They're not harmful but yes the web is ugly.

+1 I had one in my original 8 gallon nano, little bugger made a hell of a mess. I just pulled him out, lol I didnt actually know what it was though when I did so
|
Thanks for the quick replys and yes the web looks damn ugly sooo it,s time to do some snail snagging then.:razz:
|
I put reef safe super glue gel over mine, or epoxy. the gel works better though.
|
I was figuring on using my wifes knitting needle kinda stick it in and twirl the little buggers out.:twised:

A needle most times don't work because the snail spirals it's shell, your needle won't make it through the first spiral, trust me I've tried... Just glue the opening or pull the rock out and break the shell off and shuck the sucker like oysters!
