first post ,hello .. my reef tank is getting overrun with hundreds of tiny white snails, 1/32"-1/8" I first noticed a couple a few months ago but now when the lights go off at night they come out of hiding and are all over the glass feeding?)is there any way to control them?:huh: they are a rounded shape with brown specks in the helix and they pair up sometimes with a really tiny rider I do have3turbo snails,1"" and 5, 1/2" nassarius sand snails there are also a lot of spiral cone shaped snails with no adult shaped snails inhabiting the tank. the last addition was two moths ago of a rock covered with green mushroom anenomes

I have had those too and believe them to be baby zebra turbos. Your turbos look like this?
