are saltwater snails as annoying as freshwater snails?

[karvis]

i am thinking of getting LR and there are lots of snails. i am wondering if they will breed like crazy....

I have probably 2-3 times the number of snails I started with a year and a half ago in my 75. They breed like crazy for me. You won't really get snails with live rock, maybe the occasional one, but most will die off in transport. Even with as many as I have, they don't give me any problems, just make sure you have screens or guards over your intakes so they can't clog up anything. I actually love to see them all come out at night, plus they help clean my tank.

Get a couple hermit crabs and they will help keep your snails in check if you get too many.... drop 30 blue legs and they will take the shells from you snails so to speak
