SNAILS!!!Help

[cat0623]

They are multiplying way to fast. Looks like there are a million air bubbles on my glass.

Can't even imagine how many are on my rocks! Anything that will eat the babies and not harm my pair of coral banded shrimp or brittle starfishes? Please help!!! They are NASSARIUS OBSOLETA, or nassa snails. Thanks. Sara :help:

Just scrape the eggs off your glass, your cleaner crabs should enjoy them.

these are my favorites. But you could also get the blue legged ones too. A little cheaper. I just prefer the scarlets. There both equally good at what they do. get about 6 to 12 depending on the size of your tank.

They eat snails?

All hermit crabs will redily (spelling

) eat the snail eggs if they can get to them. However, I have heard of blue leg hermits eating snails alive, while the scarlet ones let them be.
