Vermetid snails/ bumblebee snails

I had vermetid snails on live rock in my 13 gal- removed what I could and bought a bumblebee snail and never saw another one- I added a bumblebee to my new 40b setup and never saw it again- I recently got a large 25+ head piece of trumpet and saw what looked like vermetids- I took it out to treat with superglue gel and when I turned it over to check from another angle- there was the bumblebee- coincidence? Don't think so

I put 9 in my 80g and eventually the Vermatids were gone. Think they missed one or it recently appeared.

I don't think bumblebees do much.

I have like 6 in my tank (30 gallons) and my vermetid snails are not dwindling. I think they're too small to do anything.

I’ve tried bumblebees a couple times with no luck. I’ve found that less food floating in the water, less vermatids…
