Can you remove the clam? If so, dump it in a bucket of RO for 20 minutes.

Wait. That's for pinched mantle. But I suppose it might kill off some snails too.

Easy peasy. Scrubbed off about 100-150 of the little buggers. No egg masses that I noticed but they got scrubbed off too and I went after the scutes with a little pick. Clam is clean for now and its business as usual in the tank. Guess I should feed the fish more, one of my tangs tried to take a chunk out of my arm
Now to attempt to do this every second night. Should be interesting...

I couldn't find info on the web to nail down the incubation period of these little buggers Did it say anything in one of the links ? I must have missed it From what I can find on the web, they can take anywhere from 3-18 days to hatch - temp dependant .... |

The OP in one of those threads said they did it for a month. I was hoping maybe they were just OCD or something but ya I guess if you're watching for the eggs to hatch and then the snails get big enough to see, it takes awhile

Put your clam in a small dish with some sand . The snails burrow in the sand in the daytime . Throw out the sand come day time and scrub and remove them nighttime . Do this until there are no more !
(Also the snails may lay eggs on the sand next to the clam by accident ) Takes about a month to get rid of them but always keep checking Last edited by darkreef; 12-22-2013 at 02:30 AM. |

There are lots of wrasses that eat these little terrors, but they can't get them all from deep inside |
