ok new to the hobby of reef keeping, Im see a lot of spider web looking stuff in the Tank, did a little research and talks about vermitid snails does anyone know a good method of removal. Im guessing i have a lot because those webs are all over the place.

Ah yeah I hate those buggers. I tried everything to remove them but the only thing that really worked was lowering my feeding amount until they died off.

Use a very small hose like 1/2" and tape a small blunt object to the hose and as you are knocking off the tips they get vacuumed from the tank. In my 300 I had a copperband butterfly and I never had aptasia or vermitid snails. My newest copperband doesn't eat aptaisia, we shall see if he eats the snails in my office tank?

I second Alton recommendation. Add a CBB to your reef and all these snails, Aptasia and feather dusters are history. Along with them goes the medusa worms and a lot of small worms in the rock and sand bed.
