With aptasia that will make it worse for you. They release millions of little spores when you do that.

I got 3 peppermint shrimp since then no more aptasia they took care of all of them in about 2 days.

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!

I had a couple in my tank awhile ago, i put some reef glue over top of the tube and they never came back.

thats what I was told, but this was a few months back when my tank was first cycling, havent had any since except one that came with a frag, but I think I got lucky cause I could have cause a huge problem, plus when I stabbed them they were closed up completely, but as said I think I just got some look

also I should say I literally stabbed the crap out of them, But I stabbed, the closed polyp once or twice injecting them in the process. but they way I said it makes it sound more EVIL

Thanks Tang Daddy pulled the piece out and yes they do spiral pretty good so it was needle nose pliers then just grab the little buggers and hopefully thats the end of it.
