snails?

I've heard that the six-line wrasse is really good at keeping baby snails
under control. They are good community fish too. But they are really
curious about anything new added to the 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....

Thanks. I was looking at one of those last wek. I'll get one and see if it
likes these things
