Im sick and tired of my snails knocking over my corals and Im thinking of just giving them away.I have about 10 snails in my tank and I know they serve a cleaning purpose and add their own touch to a reef tank but they just seem to reek havoc on my corals.My tank is only a few months old and all my sps are frags at the moment so nothing is mounted yet. I came home today and found my 2" pink lemonade acro knocked over onto another one of my acro's and 3/4" is gone:cry:.Also my chalice frags and z's and p's are always pushed around by the snails and tipped on their sides a lot and I don't want to risk losing those too.I just want to get some opinions on running my tank without snails and only keeping my blue leg hermy's.

Seriously though they are like 4 astrea snails and 5 tiger trochus snails and 1 ginormous turbo.

I bet it's the turbo doing the dirty work! I would get rid of him and watch from there!

You know Kraylen according to the UA you're only allowed 4lines in a signature.....

What to do, what to do :tongue:

I had to get rid of my long spine urchins because they were knocking everything down. After that my cleaner shrimp had to be removed too. Every night after feeding my corals he'd pick at their tentacles and snatch out the food. Chalices were very unhappy. I'm considering getting rid of the wife next. She won't stop complaining about my spending :byebye: I wonder if the IN-laws will take her back and if I can get a refund:haha:
