jonas503 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Will these stupid snail tube things stop that chalice from growing? Seems like it hasn't grown at all in months. I've broke them off but they rebuild. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabeaver Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I have coral that will grow right over them, but some won't. Sometimes the vermitide snails irritate coral with their booger catcher slime trap. Sent from the bottom of the sea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 They are annoying. I have just plugged up the hole with epoxy and that seems to do the trick! Its cruel I know but those things are annoying... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk are they the vermetid snails or the little feather dusters. The snails will leave this mucousy net that gets all over everything The feather dusters just look like tiny feather dusters. Those just don't look good but some wrasses will hunt them down. My melanarus eats them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonas503 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Here's the snail with the most on it. Others have a few on them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Take them all out or you will have more.. I would scrap the snail at this point. They will sting anything the mucus touches and stall growth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_kieran Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I used to have these things a few years back. Good luck clearing it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
