heliacus box snails...help please
In my 75 reef I have heliacus box snails eating my zoanthids. They are all over the tank now, I pulled 30 out last night and dropped at least another 15 behind the rocks. I've heard that certain fish might eat them, but aren't considered reefsafe. A friend suggested that possibly a species of fairy wrasse might work but I'm not sure which, if any. Any ideas on how to kill these guys without devastating my zoanthids?

Unfortunately, there are no fairy wrasses that would eat those snails. The best way to go about it is to pick them out manually as you see them. Check up on it at least daily and eventually youll get ahead of them. Just takes patience/time.
