Tried using long tongs to take off rock. It is like concrete on it. It has a little worm or snail that pops out once in awhile I’m sure you can see it in the pic if it’s In I’ll try to add another with it empty

Yes I got them. They seem to not give a **** about them snails
They worked like a charm in my tank. I haven’t seen a vermatid snail in a year and a half. Idk why they aren’t working for you. Maybe try a new vendor or cut back on feeding. Good luck!

Bumblebee snails will take time, but give it a few weeks and they will systematically take down the vermatids. At least they did for me. Took 6 weeks or so to see them mostly gone.
