Can you post a picture of the snails? It sounds vaguely like a snail I have in my cube tank, in which I've been unable to keep any kind of coral in the last 6-8 months because they just disappear. However I thought it was the crabs that are in there (I have like 8 or 9 hitchhiker crabs, they're too fast to be caught .. )
Anyhow, crabs and some cowries aren't necessarily innocent either. You might have crabs in that tank and not know it, it took me 6 months after buying the rock before I started seeing them come out regularly. The thing that annoys me the most is that I inspected each and every rock closely for crabs in holes before putting it in the tank ... they were obviously very deep inside or maybe they were larval and somehow survived the shipping.

Is this: http://www.oregonreef.com/sub_worm.htm What that worm looked like? If so, then as it's says in the link, there's your problem!

Followed the instructions, it still doesn't pull the picture into the thread. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Sorry. How do you get rid of these, if they are the enimy. They are small and hard to get out by hand.

 You have to get the address of the uploaded image. The link you've got is the address of the page that shows the image. If you right-click on the picture itself, there should be a "Copy image location" or "properties" tab, eventually you should be able to find something like like http: //www.canreef.com / blah-blah-blah / blah-blah-blah.jpg. Copy that and put it in between [ img ] and [ /img ] tags. (Hope this helps..) Anyhow though, those don't really look like sundial snails to me. They could be baby trochus. Here's a page that shows what sundials look like: http://www.thesea.org/reef_aquarium/...sts_snails.php

I'd guess the snails you have to be Collonista Snails. Harmless algae grazers that many reef aquarists will get as hitchhikers at some point.

this might be a bit off topic but what it the environment like in your tank with 7 tangs and 21 fish in total in a 90 gallon?
I am not trying to be a smart @ss either....but basically you are doing what lots of people say you shouldn't do and I just want to see what the behaviour of the fish is like? are they aggressive to each other? is there one dominant fish that bullies everyone else? do the fish appear to be stressed out? I have lots of customers who ask how many they can put in their tank and what it the minimum tank size, so yea...just looking for some input. thanks Neal
