Noticed some zoos missing????????

Well i have noticed my zoos slowly disapearing ane yesterday woke up and decided to look at the tank befor work and saw tons of those sundial snails munching away at my zoos. I am talking about fifty :shock: Put them in my QT and waited to get up early today only to find more. Only got like twenty this time and still a few left in cracks and holes and i am sure behind the rocks :? . What can i do to get rid of these pests? Will getting a trigger work.
 
I wouldn't go that far. Just pull them out every time you see them. Also look for their egg bundles on the zoos. Pull those off as well. It's a long process but getting a trigger is a bit extreme.
 
My wrasse sometimes takes interest in snails if I dump them in front of his face, although he hasn't touched any that wander around the tank. Maybe if you can find a hermit crab they will sometimes kill snails. Your best hope will probably be to get some tweezers and a cup and pick them off until they disappear. Most snail-eaters aren't reef safe and once they get a taste for one snail they'll eat your entire cleaning crew. For instance, my green spotted puffer, wonderful fish but decimates snails. Luckily he hasn't taken notice to any of the corals.
 
Sundials are not hard to see, so I would just keep removing them as you find them. Get someone else to help as a spotter.
