Default anyone ever have problems with chitons???

well it seems im a bit overstocked with them i probably have around 50 alot of adults and alot of babies it seems they are breeding and ive never had numbers like this before, if i was to look at my tank come 2 am i can easily count around 40-50.its the amount of babies i have that has me wondering if they ever get to plaque proportions ?? i know they eat algae so im not worried about that more just curious if anyone else has as many as i do lol

anyone else have this many??

Wow. You're lucky to have a free clean up crew. No, we've never had such luck in the chiton department as you.

they are def neat but theres just so many of them, at first it was just around a dozen or less and now im around 40-50 with alot of babies popping up more and more. finding any in the day time is next to impossible as they are nocturnal so thats the only reason they are staying..... at night they are a bit of an eye sore as my glass and rocks are covered by them.....id offer some up but i just dont have the patience to try to lure some onto pieces of glass or rocks lol
