Good but breed a lot so in my books anything that breeds that fast should have some control on their numbers.......ughhh hundreds to thousands of them! That's where I'm too now lol

ha not mine i thik they are lazy lol i added a dozen to each grow system and they are taking out the aiptasia prtty good now ater i stopped feeding the tanks but so far not the snails maybe once they need new food they will go over . not sure what their all feeding off of though as i have numerous tangs and not a stitch of algae besides some film algae when gfo gets low lol

my melanarus use to munch the odd one but since hes gone theyve exploded in numbers.

also looks like i have two types ones pretty timid and stays out of view but the other mows over every little thing

i guess i could have worse problems all in all lol

My Peppermints have always decimated Stomatella populations. I've never had them distracted with Aiptasia though.
