Woah! Never knew bumblebee snails were predators, time to go get me some

@ReefDudes 4 ай бұрын

They can also go after smaller scales,, so its a bit of a double edge sword, i find bigger ones are pretty safe

What happens with the vermitid snail tube when they die? Do they just fall on their own or do you have to scrape them?

@inventoryking 4 ай бұрын

Bumblebee snails are great at this for sure. The 1 negative I have noticed with them is they will eat other snails if they flip over.

It can be a risk with small ones but find big ones are pretty safe

do bumble bee snail will kill other variety of snail , like turbo snail and trochus snail?

@ReefingwithO 4 ай бұрын

Yes, they are carnivorous snails

@boozter 4 ай бұрын

Have not killed any in my tank. The bumble bee snail are very small and slow, doubt it would be able to kill a turbo snail.

do you have any evidence, before and after on the same coral?

If you watch the videos I did I Savy’s tank. He did a similar process which fixed his issues. I’ll talk about it more with him next time I do an update on his tank

@UziRid3r 4 ай бұрын

@@ReefDudes I started seeing a decrease in the vermatids after about 3 months. A year later and now I have to search to find them. I don't consider them a pest any longer. My process has been to dose the CC after some polyp booster and coral food. Return pump off for 15 mins and Skimmer off for 30.
