Vermetid Gastropods

[WRASSER]

I have like 20 in my tank and had like 20 in the drop box, til I cleaned it out. How do you get rid of them?

 

[WRASSER]

here is a pic. Are these what they look like?

I pinched mine off at the base and removed them form the tank, the hard thing about them that I found is that if you do not get close to the base they scrunch down in the tube and end up rebuilding what you tore off.

I will try this, hopefully my triggers join in and eat them :wink:

What's wrong with them?... if these are those little tubes that grow everywhere I have them... well everywhere.

I think that they are unattractive when they spin their WEBS and the fish swim through it and it gets all over everything :wink:

Nothing really unless they get out of hand. I had two of them that were growing up at the base of one of my leathers and I could tell it was not liking them being there because the mucus nets were all over it.
