Can’t stop vermided snails 🐌
Thanks for another great video. Keep up the great work my friend.
Great info and thanks for the update, just setting up first LPS tank now,.
Tank looks insane - great job 👍👍👍
Good info Travis. It’s always good to quarantine if you can.
Welp..this explains the cob webs in my tank 🤦♂️
I love your vids man. NO BS just truth. Thanks for helping us newbes and for your service.
Beautiful mono's ...a good touch for your aquarium ! 👍
Man your tank looks so beautiful 👍👍
Hello there, I'm a new subscriber and I enjoy your videos. I dont have a reef tank (yet), but I'm getting started on my studies and find your content eccelent for people like me that are starting out. Many thanks again and keep it coming!
Thank you Travis, another great video! I too have vermetid snails, and looking through other videos I found one that said emerald crabs eat them. I really had a bad infestation,(100 gallon tank) so I got about 7 Red and 7 green,(emerald crabs) and all different sizes too! I observed them at work shortly after I let them in there new home. I am not going to say that they are completely gone, but around 90% of them are... I do have a Maluranus wrasse but she just picks at different things around the reef! Just saying and helping people with this issue like you.
Thanks again for the great videos and happy reefing to all. From Key West Florida Sincerely Marco
I have them in droves... drives me nuts. They bother zoanthids a lot. They sprout up in between the heads and cause them to stop opening. Then the zoanthida grow algae on the them if closed for awhile and don’t want to open. It’s a vicious cycle. Hate that pest
Great video thanks dude
Great info.
They do come in corals, and are notorious for growing under the tissue of montiporas and even capable to annoying it, until the coral die.
Mine came in a Monti and spread to pretty much all my other montis.
Like many, they never bothered me until the day they spread and started annoying corals.
Great video 👍
Thanks for the great info Travis. Can you put up some footage of the bumblebee snail. I'm not familiar with that one and maybe others are not as well.
I love how you yell it how it is and keep it real man. Don't change a thing, love the channel!
thanks for the the heads up, always hated the ball shots a tank can give you
Not sure if I ever saw a tank without them?
There are a lot of reports of these damaging corals with the mucus they use to trap food. Not only an eyesore. Thanks for the video!
I agreed 💯 with the bumblebee snails, they reduce a lot the amount of vermetid snails that I had in my tank
I have tons in my tank. Ever since I bought a coral beauty he actually eats the stuff that comes out of the tube of the snails
Straight up. Good info. I hate when something slips through the Qt. &Then it becomes a management issue even though you’ve been proactive. Do you ship to Canada 🇨🇦?
Could you make a year review of the aquaticlife t5 fixture? Great vid
Great topic/video. I also have these bastards in my nano. Like you, i have introduced bumblebee snails. Also, once every few weeks, I'll go in there and massacre as many as possible with tweezers. So far, i haven't totally eradicated them but they haven't populated out of control either.
I have them. Came in on my live rock. Drives me insane looking at their little tubes. Wish they had a natural predator with teeth that would devour their tubes and eat them as well.
Just noticed some on some of my snails. Going to remove snails and scrape them off and put them back in tank.
Also how does your melanurus wrasse do without sand
Do they hurt anything in the tank or is it a visual thing. Thanks Travis. I don't know if it's the camera angle but your yellow tang looked a bit skinny.
good
Do they negatively affect your plumbing? Gate valves? Thx
I found a bay snail today on a zoa. I only have 2 nassarius and had 2 turbo snails that only lived a few weeks. I have blue leg hermit crabs and dont know if perhaps they attacted them or why they didnt last long. I also added a astrea that died as well. The crabs didint take ove rthe shells or anything. My problem is I added a half bag of caribe sea live sand that has lots of tiny dead snails so if i had not of seen this snail moving on one of my zoas I would have just thought It was one of those. Now I am worried about having this sand in my tank but its been in there about 7 months since I set up the tank. Most of my sand is just arognite so there is no way to just replace it all, without possibly causing a recycle and screw up my tank. What would you suggest? Maybe picking through the sand and try to remove these or do you think this is something I need to worry about? I have no idea what kind of baby snail that was but I guess I should dispose of it since it was on my zoa anyway and not knowing what it is. It is dark but not black and has a cone shape and has a sharp point at the end of it.
Imagine if you DIDN’T quarantine!!! 😊👍🏽
I bought 2 coris wrasse and a melanarus wrasse as I had an infestation of these things. Soon after, they disappeared. I can't say for sure it was those fish that was the cause, but damn was I happy.
Are those black fish in your 300 damsels?
Hi I just noticed a bunch on my rock. I’m setting up a new tank was planning on using the same rock from my old tank. What do you suggest use the rock as it is or bleach the rock and try to get rid of them before using on the new tank?
Why not just use dry rock? It will save you from the hassle of dealing with all that shit
Vermentid snails?? I’ve been in saltwater for 20 years and never heard of such a thing?
Are these like a feather duster but on a smaller scale? Hmmm...... very interesting topic here!! Thanks Travis!!!!
my display is infested with them, but apart from the ones next to my Blastomussa Wellsi, the rest don't seem to have noticeable web out and being a nuisance. I read that by glueing them shut in the tank could create some toxin once they die, so I took out the Blastomussa piece and dipped vinegar into their opening, and seems that work really well and to no effect to the corals.... obviously I can't do that to all....
Thanks for this vid man. I have a lot of vermentid snails in my tank especialy in the sand bed and i had no ideea how do kill them. I will try some bumble bee snails and maybe a small copper band butterfly for the aptesia as well:))
Off topic but what are the silver fish that look like pacu
What is the fish at 2:46. The silver with yellow fins, looks like some type of Bat or Angel.
How many bumblebee snails did you add to your tank?
Love the video
I would have to say the most annoying pest but at least it’s not the worst (AEFW)
my first instance of having Vermetid snails was where i had three large tubes tunneling directly through the fleshy body of a colony of green star polyps and they nearly killed the the entire colony before i was able to destroy them
Copperband butterfly eats sps?
Im infested. The only coral i have is branching frog spawn which is easy to remove. Im debating if i should nuke the rock and how...any advice on this one?
I have a tank thats only 3 months old, all new rock except for a couple of pieces that I thought I cleaned. After 3 months, these pest are throughout the tank. Definitely an eye soar but hardly ever see their mucus trails.....until I disturbed my sand bed yesterday and created a bloom of junk, my tank was like a nest of cobwebs within minutes. About 20 minutes later all back to normal. This scares me how many active vermitids there are....I was hoping they were empty abandoned tubes and they just move on and make another tube. I'm hoping to be able to live with them in my mixed reef. I cant go through another reboot starting with all new everything.
I had a spiderweb out break. I did nothing. Then i got a green hair outbreak. I dipped everything in hydrogen peroxide and have not seen them since. Will the paroxide kill them or did i get lucky?
They have become a nightmare for me! Killed a monti and zoas with their web. Had a few large ones a year ago...and now thousands of tiny ones. I’m worried when these thousand tiny ones grow I will have to start completely over. They are no joke
How did you deal with them?
I've taken to sealing them off with super glue. Wondering if its safe to break them off weeks later and know they are dead.
I've killed them with aiptasia x. Works fast
Screw these folks do u man your tank speaks for itself. Glue the sucker up is how I get rid of them.
My tank has been running for 2 weeks and all i have is a pair of clowns and i just saw spider webs and just said to my self "shit"
I think you should take your tank down and give all your vermitid snail 🐌 infested coral to me. I will reluctantly take it.
Hey so I just bought some of your chaeto. I put it in my sump and I have a 36 W grow light on it and also an LED strip light that is used on my old 29 gallon tank a few feet above sump that I leave on so when I work on it I have ample light. I went to work leaving both lights because I want this stuff to grow and thrive obviously, and I heard they need a good amount of light. I came home from work 7 hours later and noticed about 1/4 of it is starting to turn a pale white. Any idea why? I assume it is bleaching but I don't think there is too much light for the chaeto. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
I run 4 100 watt 5k led bulbs. You might not have enough light or nutrients.
Depending on your tank, I smash the. Good when they near the base of any of my corals. I'm thinking the only way you could never have these is dry rock start and dip quarantined every coral. That sounds like a huge amount of work. Smashing them up every few months is easy, but u can't get them all. I just live with the bastards, might get some bumble beensnails
My LR is covered in them. I even went from a 125 to a 180, busted them all treated the rocks quarantined and then put him in the 180 and they're back in full force. They started 9 years ago from a torch coral. I never saw one until then nor did I know what it was. I did break it and had my torch in quarantine for a month with no sight of anything else on it I put it in my tank. From then on I've had this plague.
I really had a ton. I bought a bunch of bumblebee snails and like you, they ate the living hell out of them. Good luck with them.
Copperbands don’t eat SPS they might pick on anemones, feather dusters and some inverts I have been keeping acros and sps for over 15 years and have had plenty of copperabands
Copperaband eat my bridsnest in the 125
Assassin snails/ bumblebee snails will eat vermited snails
Thesevermon are so bad, going to replace the sand and rock. They are so small, but their webs are everywhere. Their slime is so bad it runs down the glass durning water changes. Plug up socks, have to change 1 or 2 times a day. They came on a snail purchased online. The slime balls up on top of sand, encapsulates fish waste. What a mess. How do I get them off my snails without killing them?
Why is your yellow tang so skinny?
He had unprotected sex with a hippo tang
@@FishOfHex 😂😂
no one nowhere has a pest free tank if they claim they do they are lying plain and simple, and are hypocrites for even trying to ridicule others. the hatred that people spew out and hide behind they're keyboards is profound. we live in a time where the entire wealth of the worlds knowledge is in our hands. yet people are so ridiculously stupid that you're more likely to get hit by someone texting while driving than a drunk driver. there is an epidemic of stupid in the world today. and God help you if you misspell a word.
I got some on my lps. I cut the entire skeleton off. Left only the head and used apoxy to cover the rest of the skeleton. Fuck that. I'll go over board than get these son of a bitches on my tank.
they most definitely do damage coral
Not mine
Its not so bad. They are just annoying. I got them too... definitely didn't get them from you
My zoas are not very big fan of their shitty little nets. Live and learn
I bet it’s mike talkin trash.
People who jump on mistakes in a judgmental way betray their unwillingness to try new things. There's little leeway, clearly, in saltwater tanks, but that doesn't mean people have to be perfect. Any pet will get sick, no matter how well cared for. Shame makes it more difficult to teach and learn, hurting the hobby in the end.
i dont see the big deal. they look natural to me for a reef tank.
