Convinced 100% that Vermetid snails kill corals.

everything I read claims these are harmless and just irritate corals. In my experience sps corals are so sensitive that irritation and lack of polyp extension leads to brown out ( I experience a light pink out rather than a brown out before death ).

These things have been worse for me than aefw and monti nudi.

I have not dosed anything for months, weekly water change and feeding once every other day but I can get rid of them. My tank is infested with them to the point I want to empty the tank and start over from scratch. Spider webs all over $1000's worth of sps. Tank looks like a Halloween exhibit! :(

What else can I do? Snapping them off currently but can't keep up with new growth. Epoxy over the opening they just eventually bust through...

I've never had any issues with them even with a large number of them. They need particulate matter in the water column, so try reducing their food source? Maybe try a wrasse or some other predator?

Use superglue over the opening the seachem one for ex.

My acros rapidly encrust the vermetid snail tubes and eventually the snails lose.
