    If it is a vermatid smash that sucker. Some people don't mind them. When I had them they started to somewhat reach plague proportions. They get in powerheads, plumbing and about everywhere there is water. Some people say they just go away which may be true if you can get your water to ULNS levels.
    I just gave a Koralia 4 that hasn't been used in 4 years a vinegar bath. It was in storage. It must have had 20 Vermatid tubes inside it. Had to take a knife to get down in there and scrape them out.
    Here's a small read on one of my favorite bookmarks:

    That's a good article. It does put out the stringy stuff to. I think I can superglue the hole closed and it will die. Read that somewhere.

    That thing is huge. There's probably 10 more you cant see (just how these things work lol). Don't waste your glue just grab tweezers and smash the whole thing, though yours might need pliers lol.

    FWIW their populations usually reflect how much you feed. More food = More snails and vice versa.
