You might try adding a 6 line wrasse if you don't already have one. They are suppose to be natural predators of those snails and I know the last 6 line I had would work over any bristle worms it caught roaming where it shouldn't have been.

Maybe some others will chime in here as well.

Hope that helps,

Bill

my yellow coris wrasse inspects every new clam/coral/rock I put into the tank and eats small snails, pods, and limpets
