Looking to pick one up before breaking down tank and starting over.
Read many articles that they eat vermatid snails.
 
Melanarus (sp?) wrasse also possible solution. My yellow did not eat them. However, if you crack the vermatid shell to let them get the taste of them, it may help. GL!
i used combo of orange fin wrasse and bumblebee and it seems to have reduced them for me.

I have a melanarus and doesn't eat them. About 12 bumblebee snails at work.
Funny never had so many while I had the puffer and file fish.
 
Be cautious with adding the coris - likely will go at it with the melanarus.
A suggestion- may work/may not (but it’s free). try cracking a few vermatid shells so it can get a taste for them.

I took a syringe and tried to stab a few not sure if I got any. I also used the syringe with peroxide and squirted it in the tube. Snails did not like that others I covered with glue.
