  • We got one creepy looking critter today folks! The Vermetid Snails!! These guys will give you nightmares if you stare at them for too long. These uncontrolled can be an absolute plague in the reef tank. They spit out a mucus net that can cover a coral and cause them not to receive necessary nutrients from the water column. These guys are bad news! But can be managed. Make sure to check out todays video as we go over what they are and also ways of getting rid of them.

    Bumblebee snails did an amazing job for me. It took a few months, but I haven't seen a single sign of vermetids in over a year.

      @@PhiCongDoan7587 I had four in my 20 gallon tall which was completely covered in vermetids. Took about two months before I noticed a difference, and around month four they were gone. So I suppose maybe a dozen to twenty, depending on how bad your vermetid problem is?

      @opethmike I did manually cut them off the rocks about 2 months ago. There are a couple here and there. I do have some Bumblebee Snails however there is maybe like 2-3 actually alive. I started with 10 but someone them just died. I would try to pay attention to where the Vermetids snails are but they're still there wondering if I should invest in another 10 Bumblebee Snails.

    Vermitide snails will rebroduce fast on new dead life rock. I have noticed that vermide snails wont stick on coraline algae.

    Thank you, Brock! I’ll have to watch if our Blue Throat Fairy Wrasse picks at them. In my first year of having a few reef tanks (65G, 73G, 300G), I have noticed that the vermetids like to make their shells on Candy Cane corals. Quite a few have popped up recently on rocks and such. With the recent addition of bumblebee snails, I haven’t seen many of their webs. 😋

    I just noticed tonight I had a weird web in my tank of nearly 1 year old. Small tank, no new critters since I started outside of Astrea snails literally only Astrea snails. What about breaking them up while doing a water change with a siphon over top of it? Might take two people but if you can suck up all the particles after you break it, you’re money!

    Reef builders found a whelk snail that eats these. They can go after certain snails but I think they work much better than bumblebees, which didn't really work for me maybe. I've also used a 10+w Lazer to cook them. Aim at the base and wait for the pop, very satisfying.

    I was about to move my newer frogspawn frag to my display tank and seen “white hairs” all over it. There’s some bigger tubes coming off the skeleton. But it seems there’s a lot of double hairs on the surface, just no visible tubes yet. I feel like coating the skeleton with super glue wouldn’t be the best idea. I might just pretend I didn’t see em and get a couple bumblebee snails. I’m also fighting dinos now too and using Tropic Marin Plus-NP to bring back up the phos/nitrate while also essentially carbon dosing and feeding the phosphate with the specific bacteria for it to eat. Should I hold off on moving the frag to the dino tank or would adding the possible vermetid snails not even add to the main issue of the getting my nutrients stable again ?

    Question: is there a specific species wrasse that I should get to control the Vermited snails or any Wrasse is ok? Currently have a small White Belly Wrasse and Melanarus Wrasse.

      White bellies are the best known ones to eat them. It’s really any wrasse cause it’s hit or miss

      Honestly isn’t a sure fire way to prevent it unless you add all dry rock to your set up. But even one could catch on a snail shell.
