Colonista snail removal?
I have a serious outbreak of colonista snails. Wondering if anything eats these but won't harm corals? Have a blenny, coral beauty, blue chromis and a firefish too if that helps. Thanks!

Couldn't you just siphon them out one by one? If you have a LFS in your area or perhaps a club I'm sure somebody would be willing to take them off your hands.

Unless they start clogging up your powerheads.
Certains kinds of wrasses eat them, but might also eat your shrimp. Here are a couple: Halichoeres melanurus Halichoeres biocellatus
