I found a small vermetid snail still attached to my Florida Ricordea and thought I'd give it a shot and pull that sucker off. I am pretty sure I got the whole thing successfully however in my efforts it also detached from the plug and caused a little damage to the ricordea.
There was a small hard black piece that it was attached to still that I tried gluing to the live rock but it looks like it is barley hanging on by a thread.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It looks like gluing these down is a pretty tricky job and I am almost thinking I am better off not playing with it and hoping it grows extra support to remain attached. It also has a nice string of mucus coming out of the damaged area but overall it looks okay.
If I see one of those vermetid snails again next time, what would have been a better idea to get it off? Bayer Insect killer?
