snails?

I'm not exagerrating when I say I remove a hundred a week. If I had not benn
removing them I would have at least 1500 snails in an 80 gallon tank by now.
No kidding. I've never seen such before.

I would not worry about them. You are not likely to have a problem with an
overpopulation of snails in a reef tank.

Hi all, I added some live rock to my tank. It was the most algae covered
rock at the LFS and it was in the "rubble" tank. It had been donated to
them by someone who dismantled their tank prior to a move.

Now a few months later, I am having a snail problem. I remove about a
hundred tiny little snails a week, but can't seem to get them under
control. I don't suppose there is a fish that would eat these guys but
would leave my "regular" snails alone?

Any advice on getting them under control?

They look a little like mexican turbo snails if I let them get big
enough, but they are a mottled brown color.

Thanks....
