i smash or glue them closed as i hate the webs! they will irritate some corals for sure!

+1...they used to irritate my SPS. I snip their shells in half with bone cutters and my wrasses take care of the leftovers.

I glue them shut as well!

You guys have some skills with the glue...I tried that and made more of a mess than the snails did, lol.

If you don't have a bunch jump on it and kill them or they will spread like crazy if you feed your tank very often.

You don't use a super glue gel?

 

[jahmic]

I do...still seemed to leave a "trail" after squeezing some glue onto the snail. I didn't have my pumps off though, and it blew around the tank after that. I guess some practice would've helped (as well as turning the pumps off), but I gave up after that incident.
