Is anyone aware of any fish or inverts that's will eat these little buggers. I purchased a rock a while back that I was told had a bunch of feather dusters on it. They are no feather dusters. Instead it'd these annoying tube snails. Some new diamond gobys I added are really mixing up the bottom and these things are everywhere...please help
 
I have read that there is one or two species of wrasse that "might" eat them (the yellow coris wrasse I believe is one of them)? Unfortunately there isn't anything reliable that feeds on them though.
 
There has to be a natural preditor for them. We just haven't found a good reef safe version. I'm getting really annoyed with these buggers though.

I have long nose butterfly, copperband, Xmas wrasse, melanurus, Timor, green coris, 4 leopards, and had some yellow wrasse before. Nothing touches them.
 
I have just learned to live with them. They seem to multiply like crazy, then start to die off. Just a continuous cycle....unless they are bothering coral, I wouldn't worry about them.
