Just thought I'd share some pretty cool things that have been happening in my 6 month old reef. (I would've added pictures if I could have gotten ones worth sharing!).

Limpets:
I started out with 3-4 limpets, but now have nearly a dozen all over my DT and sump.

Turbo snails:
Had over a dozen of these in my CUC, but just noticed the other night two, tiny white blobs moving around on the glass. At first I thought they were limpets or pineapple sponges, but on closer inspection, they were baby Turbos!

Serpent stars:
I bought a small banded serpent as part of my cleanup crew several months back. About two months ago, I ran across a very large banded serpent in the LFS, so I decided to add it as well. The other morning, I noticed some small worms peeking out of a rock near the front of the tank. When I looked at it closer, it was a baby serpent star! I'm not sure if I have a male and a female or if I put a pregnant female in, but there are now three in my tank ;)
 
Your baby snails are most likely collonista snails not turbo
 
So far, they don't have the same shell pattern, but I can see how they'd be difficult to distinguish from one another. I haven't added anything to the tank in a while, for what that's worth.
 
Did you use live rock when you set up the tank they come as hitchhikers
 
Yeah I wasn't sure about them either the first time I saw them in my tank
