I have these worms popping up everywhere now in my tank. I wanted to know if their is anything that will eat them. I know gluing over them will kill them but it seems like so much gluing. Thanks for any I’d on the worm and what animal may hunt them

I believe he’s talking about vermetid snails and unfortunately there’s nothing I’ve found to truly help easily in eradicating them. Broadcast feeding the tank encourages their population. I clip their tubes ( with bone cutters ) as close as possible to the rock it’s attached to in hopes my wrasse will find the worms while hunting for food. It’s sometimes possible to clip the complete tube having the worm still inside then remove from your tank.

I don’t think anything eats them. Wrasse might (Ive not seen a single one in either of my tanks since adding two Halichoeres to the big one and a Cryptic to my small nano)
