Melanurus wrasse or some other wrasses should be able to take care of them. That does suck though.

I think im buying a Yellow Coris Wrasse. Seems to be the best for flatworms and pyramid snails.

This thread is a nightmare for me...yet another pest I had never heard of until now. Matt these are a couple hitchhiker I.d. guides I use. Sometimes it's helpful just to skim through them, so you remember the bad stuff. www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htmwww.chucksaddiction.com/hitchhikers.htmlNot sure if you've already seen them but since you didn't know what a pyramid snail was, I thought I'd share. |

Ok so the problem... im doing what ive read and manually removing them from my snails and clam. However I cannot remove them from the mini turbo snails in my tank. There are hundreds of them and I would say half of them have a single pryamid snail attached to them...

Well I guess ill treat them all as pests and remove anything with a shell. I grabbed some small tubing and just sucking them all off the rocks. Ill do it every night till there all gone.
