I have a 365litre tank everything is fantastic except I have A LOT of vermedit snails and now just found 2 massive aiptasia! Bumble bee snails aren’t doing not earning there keep at all.
Questions:
1. Coral snow for the vermetid. Any good? Will it affect my corals? Heard it’s a daily for a month treatment? Will it mess with my lovely balanced parameters?
2. I have a wrasse will berghia nudis survive with a wrasse?

Thanks in advance
 
This is not an answer to your question, but here’s my experience with aiptasia in a 33-gallon tank. I had 6-7 aiptasias (at least I saw 6-7). I tried Aiptasia-X for 3 or 4 of them. It seemed okay. But then I added a peppermint shrimp. I didn't see it for 3 to 4 days, but the aiptasia disappeared in 2 days.

I would do a peppermint but I have a Scarlett hawkish. He doesn’t eat my cleaner but I introduced him after the shrimp had been there a while.
The aiptasia are right near my mushrooms so aiptasia x might upset them. Catch 22

I used Joes Juice recently and it worked quite well.

If you're going down any of these injecting roads make sure to turn off flow before treating them.
 
My peppermint shrimp is smaller than my cleaner shrimp, so the hawkfish might eat it
I couldn't find Berghia nudibranch snails, so I added peppermint shrimp. I am sure the snails will eat the aiptasia quickly, but as far as I know, they eat only aiptasia, so they’ll probably not survive.

Nice tank, btw!
 
I just added a couple with a long nose hawkfish. Aptasia are already disappearing and the hawk( well fed) is leaving them alone.
