    Most fish and many corals will eat snails in their larval stage, so it's doubtful they will ever get out of hand. Mine spawn in the refugium from time to time, and I will toss 20-30 into the DT... just the dwarf ceriths have spawned so far. My bigger florida ceriths seem to lack the proper libido.
