Vermated Snails are rearing their ugly webs

[Doogle]

So tonight right before lights go out I notice my leather tree is Very limp and pouty and there are Vermated Snails all around it. Frogspawn has a few attached to the trunk and they seem to be proliferating everywhere in the tank. Bothering the livestock=bothers me. So what do I do? Manually remove them? Errr, what a pain. Ideas?

The only thing I've found that works is to put super glue gel in them. Even if you break them off they come back.

vermetid snails are quite useful in your tank, they do no harm, if they are around a coral its because there is food, mother nature always wins haha

Here is a good article about a number of snails including vermetid. Perhaps it will offer some advice.

It appears that they are generally considered harmless.
So far I haven't found anything specific about removing them.

Yes I've been reading it.Lol, I dunno maybe I need to reduce the nutrients, I super gellled a couple of them yesterday but ran out of gel.

Happy to say the leather is looking as goods it ever did today! Go figure
