Anyone know what this snail is? It casts a very large net that covers much of the coral.

Super glue him or crush him if he is affecting coral growth. I have to do that every so often..

Thank you for the response. I didn't realize they got so big. Get rid of it, right?

I would. Yeah, I have found some huge puppies in my tank. The problem about leaving them, is that they reproduce more. I can never fully rid myself of them, they always come back eventually. Probably because a couple are on the back side of the rock work.

I take a pair of pliers and remove them when they are that large. They do irritate my corals.
