Vermatid snails.
There are a few things I've heard eat them. Some people pull the rock and and wipe it with a towel which is supposed to pull most of them off. And of course there is manual removal. They're filter feeders, so like any other, they typically only become excessive in quantities with an excessive food source. I have quite a few in my tank right now.

if you get something that eats inverts, like a flame hawkfish, or a trigger, they help control the population, and it's free food, win-win

The three foot tessalata eel or the grouper would eat them.
I'm thinking muriatic acid. I want to rockscape the tanks and not worried if I kill everything on the rock.
However, for the 120g I think that might be a good option.

I've also heard that certain wrasses eat them.
