Breeding snails
I have what appears to be a population explosion of Astrea snails. Is there anything I can introduce to the aquarium to control the young? They are all over portions of the glass. The aquarium in question is a 90gal mixed reef.

I have the same issue with nassarius snails, I just pull them and give them away or put them in other tanks. They aren’t much of an issue other than they tend to clog my skimmer intake on occasion

I don't think they may condoms that are small enough..
You might want to just try placing a dab of super glue on their penis..

There are fish out there that do eat snails but like others said. Just give away the ones you don’t need
Any fish that eat snails shouldn’t really be in Reef tank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
