Need a little help, I've been over run by these small snails that are truly on my last nerve. I am to the point where I'm ready to take down my entire tank and lose 3+ years of coral growth to rid my life of them. Can anyone point me in the direction to remove them via a natural predator.

They look like collonista snails. What fish do you have already?

Did you end up getting a corris wrasse? did it work? I have an infestation of these guys too. I like feeding my tank too much to kill them off through starvation.
 
Mantis shrimp..youll loose all your inverts though,,then youll have to get the mantis out of there if dont like them...
