So I have Vertimid snails on a couple rocks with Blastos. The Blastos are bothered by the snails and receded so not eating. One of the rocks also has a lot of colonizing hydroids on it. A Bayer dip should knock them both out, right?

Verms are hard since they can close up and hide. Yes, it can kill them, but they can also wait it out. You can crush the verms before you dip.

Bayer dip attacks the nervous system, so any organism with a brain will be affected. The hydroids aren't going to be addressed at all...

I have Vertimid snails and I dip everything. It lives in the dip. Now I rip them out or super glue the ends of the tube.

I bet a trigger fish would eat the mobile juveniles if not the calcified ones too. I don't remember, will a small clown trigger eat corals?
