A Six-Line Wrasse? I doubt it will eat those snails. If you have enough bugs in the tank and you wanted one anyway, then go for it. Otherwise, be extremely hesitant to add carnivorous fish like Wrasses, Hawkfish, Dottybacks, Gobies, Pseudochromis, Royal Gramma, etc. They can ruin the ecosystem of a tank in just a few days and then, here comes Mr. Hair Algae

Wait a minute, you know all that. Well, I'll leave it for the newbies.

I don't have any cool clams but I do have those little
snails. I only see them every once in a while. It
seems that there is only a few. Now I can never get a
clam ]]> Thu, 23 Dec 2004 10:15:47 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4735&PID=47962&title=pyramid-snails#47962 <![CDATA[Pyramid Snails : Thanks for the reply...

Thanks for the reply... I have been very carefully watching with a critical eye and removing every single one of them I see... I lost my squamosa to these and don't want my huge' derassa to be a victime. I cleaned him off a couple nights ago and so far so good.. I'm gonna get a six line just in case, maybe he'll atleast keep them somewhat at bay... I know since I got mandarines' I haven't seen any flatties..

it's funny how many different things exist in the ocean on the predetor prey foodchain.

later

I've had experience with them. They are easy to pick off the clam. Usually a couple treatments a few days apart rids them for good.

Not all snails that look like that are bad.]]> Thu, 23 Dec 2004 07:16:48 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4735&PID=47934&title=pyramid-snails#47934 <![CDATA[Pyramid Snails : Bloody hell!

Bloody hell!  I have hundreds of those little pyramid snails!!  Just bazillions of them.  I can't curse on this message board, but that just really ruined my day!!  Like I needed another little challenge in my life.   ]]> Wed, 22 Dec 2004 17:45:15 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4735&PID=47879&title=pyramid-snails#47879 <![CDATA[Pyramid Snails : Looks like the link contains good...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4735&PID=47832&title=pyramid-snails#47832 Author: SSpargur

Looks like the link contains good info on ridding them.  Hopefully they're not in your substrate.  You may want to contact Barry if you have any questions.

Good luck Dan!

Well I found that my squamosa wasn't doing so well upon further inspection / diagnosis I found a plethora of Pyramid Snails all around the Byssal tissue :( Has anyone had any real world experiance with these parasitic fools?
