So vermetids are bad after all (not just annoying, but .. "bad")
So I saw this over at advancedaquarist.com this morning .. thought it worthy of reposting here as it basically confirms what probably a lot of us were already suspecting: vermetid snails are bad for your reef.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that 100% coverage of anything on a reef is going to be bad. But everything in moderation is good. Its biodiversity and necessary for a balanced ecosystem. Vermetids have been in my system for years and the coral just grows right over them. Perhaps I'm just one of the lucky minority.

Idk just my 2 cents I find some of the things that are not added or usually are not a "show piece" are the coolest to watch, hermit crab fights...mini starfish moving on the glass.. watching a bristle star steal food and yank it back to the hole in the rock ...
