Sorry, no good news yet. I'm working through an algae issue before I start more trials at vermitid eradications.BUMP!!!!!!!!!! updates from any one I tore down an old tank started with dry rock, new sand, new equipment, dipped and guess what I have them again -__-
Dipped what? The coral that had the vermetid on it?BUMP!!!!!!!!!! updates from any one I tore down an old tank started with dry rock, new sand, new equipment, dipped and guess what I have them again -__-

I wonder if you keep the tank superclean if the vermited populations will stay low. Are they growing in numbers?
That sucks. Do you have the little tiny type? I was thinking about doing the same as you when I start new. But keeping a few frags from the old tank.Yeah I made sure to clip off and scrap and dip.any coral that had one and I dipped everything regardless. Yeah they are growing in numbers I cut back feedings but have anthias and one already died since I cut back on feedings
I stopped after a month. Dealing with an algae now but I may run more trials when I can clear this stuff.@Brew12 did you continue your trial or did you stop after one month?
I just watched fish of hex’s latest video and had no idea about these snails. How does one know if they are actually bothering coral?
Someone in another thread thinks that plague proportions of vermetid is less common in thanks that started with mostly Live Rock because when you use Dry Rock then there isn't anything to combat the vermetids for real estate and they can spread much easier. for those who had/have vermetid issues did you start with Dry or Live rock? I started with mostly dry and a small piece of live to seed.Watch the corals, depending on type you will see stunted growth. Besides that they are rather unsightly in large numbers. My tank is to look at if i am not happy with the outcome they are a nuisance [emoji23]

You must not have the mini version.I love my Vermitid snails, they are part of the system and great filter feeder. I have never noticed a coral have any issues with their nets. The secret to not having a plague of then is competition. The biggest pest in your reef tank is probably you.
