Frogspawn/vermetids help!

Well I had a problem a few weeks ago with some type of vermetid snails exploding in my temp 10G tank... little spirally things 'bout 1/8inch around that calcify themselves to anything and everything. I scraped em off most everything and my frogspawn and zoas were doin' pretty good. Then the damn snails had another population boom and a bunch of em ended up on the frogspawn's "stalk". Well for the past week and a half or two my frogspawn has been getting progressively more ticked off and irritated. Is there a dip I can use to kill off the damn snails but not hurt my poor frogspawn? I tried scrubbing them off with a hard toothbrush and it didn't seem to work very well.

Crush them with tweezers. Not only do you get rid of the vermetid snails, you get a warm feeling inside by watching their guts squish about.
