Collinista snail outbreak

[21reefstreet]

Hi all,
I have had a collinista snail outbreak. They are about 1 -2 mm and white and probably have a few hundred of them, that come out at night. I think they are irritating my toadstool...when I look in there at night, they are all over the stalk. They don't seem to be bothering any other corals. The tank is almost a year old now and I am hoping this just one of the phases. All of my parameters are in check. I have researched some, and find they are good for your CUC. But is there a way to reduce the population, besides manual removal, or will they reduce in numbers on their own?
Not sure if a wrasse would help since the snails are nocturnal. There are a few out during the day, but not many. My long polyp toadstool isn't happy and I think this may be the cause. Everything else is doing okay, including my Fiji leather.
I also have some type of tube worm that is small with a hard tube that has a web like substance. I just break them off as I find them.
Thanks

They will reduce in number on their own. One they run out of whatever food source the find so good.

Are you positive they're collonista snails? Can you post a picture?

From everything I researched, it appears to be collinista snails.

Thanks, I hope so . No major algae or anything that I know of, except maybe the film that develops.

Yeah, looks like collonista from that angle.
I have two in my office nano and they haven't multiplied at all. I think i'd rather be in your shoes ;) Good luck!
