Vermatid snails

[Tecnomage]

Now that most of my algae is gone and the rocks are starting to look really nice I'm seeing a lot of these tube snails in the tank, they're all over the place (they've been here since the start but I'm seeing a lot more of them now that everything else is looking better).

Has anyone found a way to kill them without removing all the rock and either snapping off or super gluing every opening shut? I'd love some little critter that would feast on them but not on our feather dusters....

Some of the coral and zoas are irritated by their webs.

So what works, what doesn't?

Thanks,
Jim

Hmmm...not sure of any creature that will eat them. I just glue them closed, but I put a glob of glue on the tip of something (like maybe a toothpick) and go at it underwater fast, before the glue dries. That way I don't have to take the rock out, and I'm still covering up the snail hole.

They're really annoying little buggers, aren't they >.<
