I only have a 15 gallon nano, right after work im going to buy a bumblebee snail they have one in stock that I was at lunch!!!Bumblebee snails have taken care of hundreds that I once had.
Same size tank here. I'm going to have to try this approach.I have about 15 in a 125g 6ft... took them about 3 months to make a noticable difference.
1) Keep in mind, any snail that eats vermetids will also likely eat other snails, and possibly clams as well.
2) From what I've seen/read, there are more than one type of snail that get lumped into the general name of 'bumble bee' snails. Some are predatory ... similar to whelks (which prey on other snails and clams). And some are not ... which means they wouldn't do a thing to help rid your tank of vermetids.
Are you sure those aren’t hydroids? From your picture, we can’t see if there is the telltale coiled shell at the bottom. Hydroids have the same tubes and look like vermetids, but are harmless. I have hydroids on some of my rock and they look very similar to the vermetids. Hydroids look like feather duster worms, rather than slime.
I also have flatworms the non harmful kind that I will be getting rid of today. You can see them on the sand bed. I went fallow for 3 months and the worms just spread like wild fire. Any suggestions?
Sounds like a great approach. Just be sure to use the reef safe version of the super glue. Acryli-something..I am using dremmel to grind them off the surface. After that, I smear super glue on the surface for extra protection.
anyone else is doing the same?
