I have insane amount of vermetid snails of my 2 years old tank, i was actually inspecting the tank today, and under every acan i have that some are dying, theres vermetid houses, i remember when i started to see a year go vermetid snails, i stocked on bumble bee snails, but it doesnt seem to do anything. In every corner of my rock, theres one, thats insanity. Is there any solutions out there?
 
I hate those things!

I have not heard of any way to eliminate them completely from a tank. I had the same problem but was forced to drain and restart so I am hoping to keep them out. Quarantine to the extreme and inspect everything is all I can do.

Manually crushing as many as possible and stocking a ton of bumblebee snails is the best I have heard so far. Avoid feeding broadcast style coral food. I also saw a suggestion to try “coral snow” (a search will bring up threads that explain it more).

Good luck!!!
