Becoming a problem in my tank. I have ornate and six line wrasse. Among a reasonable cleanup crew I’ve chopped them back multiple times, but I keep having to destroy their webs. How do I get rid of them.
 
Glue the hole shut. Unless removing entire thing snapping only slows them down. Also as stated bumblebee snails will eat them but will eat snails too in the process.
 
Peppermint shrimp will reach in and eat them (have seen this from multiple specimens). Bumblebee snails apparently too.
 
Reduce broadcast feeding to slow down their population. Coral snow also help, u still need to manually crush all the ones u can on your rock and make sure u collapse the entire tube not just break it off. I dont think u will ever eradicate them once they r in your tank.
