So... I just noticed this marine pure block covered in vermetid snails. See photo below. I pulled it out of my sump and plan on drying it out to kill them all. Thank god I have another block. Only 2 new juvi clowns and a minor CUC in my tank - So hopefully the bioload is still manageable.
This block I bought from a LFS to seed my tank 3 months ago. The other block was new and put in at the same time. I had one coral frag that had a vermetid in it, but I super glued him thoroughly before putting him in the tank. That frag came from the same LFS.
Should I be doing more damage control? I feel like this happened overnight but I am sure it didn't. I can't believe I didn't notice them as I check my sump every two days.
How should I prep for these snails elsewhere? Are their eggs in the water column at this point? If my other marinepure block gets loaded I may be in a tough spot.
Thanks for your thoughts!
