bumblebee snails are not reef safe just in case you plan on setting up a reef tank

Mike what do you mean saying "not reef safe"? Some reefers buying these to control pests in aquariums cause they are carnivorous but I have never heard that they gonna kill your coral or fish...
I have problem with little "snails" living in some kind of pipes sticking to the rocks (I forgot the name of these creatures) all I know they stilling food using them nets (it looks like a slime) and bother some of my corals, especially zoas and palys, bumble bees should take care of them that's why I got 50 pcs to my 140 gal tank... we will see.

Pellegrino I hope you don't mind about this question in your thread, if so please lmk ill remove it.

Thanks
mark

I don't mind Mark, but if you know anyone who could spare a few of each that would be great. Thanks for the post I am pretty new at this and all the extra info is greatly appreciated.

They eat the micro fauna in live sand. The micro fauna makes the sand live without it you just have sand. Do some research you will see what I'm talking about
