Snails

[diana a]

Just purchased 9 snails from @Aquarium Care Center...not even home yet with them. I took one of the bags to look at them and say hi! First thing I see I aiptasia on one of the snails. What is the treatment to destroy the aiptasias on the snails without killing the snails in the process? Is this a problem to cure of snails? Don’t want to introduce aiptasia to dt. One snail has 5 little ones

Can’t you scrape em off with a razor blade if it’s on shell then dab on locktite super glue gel or gorilla glue gel where they were,,, I believe I’ve herd of the glue method used in other cases or just send it back to ocean via sewer system

Good eye. I don't think I would have caught that.

I used a Syringe with vinegar right on the mouth. This kills it from inside

[/I have one on one of the coral plugs I recently got. Had now idea what it was. Would a small amount of vinegar hurt the coral that’s also on the plug?

Be careful and quick but do it soon or it will be all over the place

 

[ericrodriguez]

Just add a little right to the mouth that kills it at the moment

At least they can't shrink back into rock to hide. I had a booger do that and took forever to get him. I used lemon juice in insulin syringe and injected

Just how I do it.
I know vinegar you can carbon dose but Lemon juice I Don’t know about that.

 

[MadReefer]

Lemon juice is fine, done it before with no side effects.

I would throw them out

 

[diana a]

Didn't want to kill them by accident with lemon juice. I would be doing a "Paulie" with cleaning them all in every spot. Someone locale took them for his classroom tank.

Hypothetically if there shell broke would they just find another..

I don't think snails do that. Their body is attached to shell if I remember correctly.

How do snails change shells? Why do they do it? - Quora.

I just that there could be pests inside the shell with the snail?
