Every single day I have to upright or pick my frags off the sand bed cause the mf just bulldoze his way through everything. I've already lost a few frags cause they were knocked down and landed face down in the sand.

I'm really close to pulling it out and just stomping on his a$$.

Are you attaching your frags with glue and or putty? I don't have that problem anymore... but if something isn't secured my wrasses and snails would flip stuff over all the time.

I have no turbo snails in my tank. I have your problem too.... However, I have a lot of tiny small white snails. I have no idea where they come from but like a lot of them. They help clean the algea but not with the turbo snail speed. I keep my bio-load low and do water change to slow down the algea growth. Ah, and the yellow tang helps too! Turbo Snails don't last when the temp is above 80. I never had a snail for more than a year :)

I hate turbo snails. They literally think they aquascape better than you. Same with unchins. They look so cool in your tank but I was tired of picking up frags. Half the time they die from being g face down on the sand bed overnight.
