Apparently my ceriths are very fertile, I’m being ran over, my sumps the same way, I believe they are the dwarfs I have so maybe they won’t get too big...

Get ready, you could easily get over run by the new army!
 
There’s definitely an army forming, I mostly worry about one jamming my return pump impeller

It'll be like that hunger games scene with the dam XD
 
I like ceriths, consider yourself lucky! My tank is overrun with baby trochus.
 
I may have to come up with a snail trap, I’ve took probably 50 out the past week and still haven’t knocked a dent in em, on the other hand the sand bed is really clean

Only one I ever had trouble with was Astrenia stars. Anything that gets to far of a lead can cause big issues. Consider what there taking out of the system and its effects as well as a natural predator possibly. Harlequin tusk fish would devour em. many other non reef safe wrasse's probably would as well maybe.

My Astrenia star fish exploded after there years of safe levels, ate all the normals foods they cool find then devoured all my coraline algae off of everything, caused a alk spike and mag spike, then a huge nitrate spike. Then after tons of siphoning, I found a harlequin shrimp that made it thru my QT process and began the slaughter and rebalance of my system after the ALK up swing from no more coraline using it up. Everything has cause n effect in a reef tank. Be weary.... what there eating will need to be eating by something else and what goes in comes out as nitrate and phosphate. So expect needing extra WC till there under control compared to before the explosion possiblly.
 
Where are you located? I need some
 
sorry,didn’t see this, I removed about 50 of them, still a crapload in there, gonna be on vacation next week, let me see how many are in there when I get back
 
A bit off topic I know. But what is the coral in the first picture?? I like that
 
It’s a macro algae, a type of halimeda, possibly shaving brush halimeda, I got it in a sampler pack, it’s grown much faster than I anticipated
