Narrative:
Aircraft X was on a vector for visual approach [to sna] level at 5000 feet. They were above much of the VFR traffic. I was busy issuing instructions to other aircraft when aircraft X reported getting within 200 feet of an untagged VFR traffic. At the same time the conflict alert turned on. Recommend class bravo airspace for lgb airport so VFR traffic cannot conflict with IFR in this vicinity. Also with more people working; extra set of eyes can prevent unsafe situations.
