Some removal ideas:do you know how to get rid of them without bumble bee snails
manual removal, bumblebee snails, glue, injecting vinegar/lemon juice/kalkpaste, coral snow, etc. If you only have a few, then manual removal should work fine, otherwise I’d say to look at some of the methods used on the forum here and try out the ones you think would work best.
I’ve heard mixed reviews on the super glue method (but, most methods get mixed reviews with Vermetids).
For the vermetids, some people report success with emerald crabs, bumblebee snails, coral snow (there's a DIY recipe on here somewhere for this that's super cheap - I believe it's made from chalk), etc.
Probably the best results I’ve seen with small numbers of vermetids come from crushing the tube and setting a predator (like an emerald crab or a bumblebee snail) by the crushed tube immediately after.
The following may be helpful too:
With regards to Coral Snow:Some people swear by bumblebee snails for vermetids, others say they’re useless, and still more say they’re effective but only over long periods of time (like 8+ months long). It may depend of the species of vermetid you have.
None of these are guaranteed to work; some of them may work in some situations but not in others.Some people report it eliminating their vermetid infestations while others report that it just cuts the numbers down drastically for a while.
