I currently have an outbreak of tiny white snails in my tank. They have been around but just recently broke out like crazy. Are these normal? is there anything i can get to eat them? Or will they just go through their cycle and taper off? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advacne.

I would stay away from coris species. The yellow is actually a canary and would be a good choice. Reef tank? A melanurus wrasse although sometimes pick on shrimp and other inverts would be a better choice thank a Christmas wrasse imo

If you are talking about those tiny snails that come out by the hundreds @ night. I forget the name, but they get no bigger than 1/8". they are good, had a ton of those in my last tank, never any issues to corals.
