I have had vermented snails for a few months now and they to this day are not bothering any corals or anything but are getting to be a really big eye sore. I want to get something that will hopefully eat them, I have a 55 gallon reef, any suggestions on how to get rid of them would be amazing (breaking down my tank and starting over is not an option for me sadly)
Thanks!
 
Get a dozen bumblebee snail. Then in a month to month and a half, do it again. Repeat one a year to keep the population alive. They may not get 100% but enough to not be an eyesore. I had close to 100s of the buggers on the sump rock I used to start with. Year and a half later, 3 that I can see.

Do the bumblebee snails not survive? Why do you need to keep adding more?

A small Halichoeres wrasse (Iridis, Chrysus, Leucoxanthus)

They’re snails, short lifespan. Got to replace the die off until you get enough for a breeding population. They are very small. A dozen in my 70 gallon with the amount of live rock I have makes for great distances needing to be traveled to “hook up”.

I'll try one of the wrasses recommend and then get 10-12 of the snails, thanks so much for your help!
