Has anyone reset their tank with new rock due to the number of tiny vermetid snails. I have so many that I worry about them injuring my fish. They are very small and I don't ever have a problem them and their nets, but They are literally covering almost every inch of rock .
 
unlikely to injure fish, but if you want to thin them out, just scape them off the rocks with a razor blade or similar edges tool.
 
Bumblebee snails are known to eat them as well.
 
I was planning on using original scape from my 120g on my new 200g. I had such a bad infestation I ended up creating a new scape and starting over. Salvaged what corals I could and have them quarantined now. Still finding one or two every week on the qt corals. These things are impossible to get rid of and spread like wildfire. Probably set me back 2 years plus the $.
