HELP! Vermatid / tube snail

[naterade112886]

Is anyone aware of any fish or inverts that's will eat these little buggers. I purchased a rock a while back that I was told had a bunch of feather dusters on it. They are no feather dusters. Instead it'd these annoying tube snails. Some new diamond gobys I added are really mixing up the bottom and these things are everywhere...please help

I wouldn't worry about them. They are generally harmless. Although you do have to be careful picking up a rock since those tubes can be sharp.

Don't know of anything that eats them, but you can snap them off or glue them shut... +1 ^

Hello Naterade
WELCOME to Reef Sanctuary

It would be great to find something that would eat the dreaded Vermetid Snails but unfortunately, I don't think there is anything.
I tried at first to remove them but that was a bigger job than I could keep up with. I just pick off the ones that seem to be irritating to a coral and ignore the others. They really don't do major harm...like DaveK mentioned above. Just know you are not alone in your dislike for them

Start a tank thread & tell us more about your tank
WE LVE PICTURES TOO
Very BEST WISHES....
