Arrow good idea on snails

there's some other fish that will eat it...
possibly carp... but for something out there
that weed is a food source...

i saw this incredible video to demonstrate my point

it was on fish that were over fished that kept the
sea urchins under control...

the fishermen harvested way to many
the sea urchins over populated and all the kelp
growing in the area got consumed by the urchins.

along came management and they stopped the harvesting
of the urchin eating fish.....
and the bottom of the sea bed was literally wall to wall black
with sea urchins prior to doing this.

they eventually made a come back, ate all the sea urchins, and then
the kelp recovered and the whole area totally prospered.
