newbiereeferrob Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have noticed some vermetid snails on my live rock(they were there when i bought them) and they are seemingly dead. They have been here for over a month and i have nit seen any new ones nor any webs coming from them. Is it safe to assume they are dead? I dont really mind how they look but if they are alive and will eventually shoot webs i'll remove them. Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I wouldn't worry too much about the webs. The vermetids are all over my reef and don't cause any issues. How old is the tank? Link to comment
newbiereeferrob Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 just about brand new, 2 months. and thats good to know Link to comment
FlowLikeWater Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 IMO they can bother corals, but if they're dead i wouldn't worry. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Worst hitch hiker ever! I'd take aptasia over them. You can only pray that it's dead! Link to comment

At least you can pay $100 for berghia nudibranchs and get rid of 100% aiptasia (worked for me) I used to have hundreds of them, now I have hundreds of micro stick webbers. Link to comment

gulfsurfer101 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hydroids are easy to kill imo! Vermetid snails seem to hide places where you just can't get to. When I tore down my 75g I made sure that every rock that went into 20l had gobs of glue over each one. Soon they were popping out the sides. Finally frustrated from dealing with them I tore the rock out and chiseled them smelly fuggars off! Link to comment
Hammerstone Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Are they little tubes that send out fans and appearing to make a little slime line in the water? Link to comment
