Baby Snails?

[WhatCouldGoWrong71]

So I guess those snail eggs on the back of my tank have actually been hatching and not being eaten... I guess. I walked out to view my tank this AM under some moonlight and I was blown away by how many, of what I think, are baby snails. Please see photos. Also, it appears that I have a bunch of sponges now growing all over the tank, and they are growing what look to be "sprouts?"

Are these snails? Should I be concerned with the amount? They appear to be doing their jobs...

What about the sponges that have these growths coming out of them?

I can’t see anything in your pics. The snails are fine. Food availability will limit population.

The only thing I can make out in any of the pictures are a bunch of asterina/aquilonastra stars but I assume that's not what you're talking about.

All the things I have circled were moving around, I think they are snails. For the life of me I can't take pictures of my tank.

Easiest would be to just pull some out into small container of water for clearer pictures.

i see a bunch of starfish, if they are snails, my guess would be spirorbid worms (if they dont move), maybe collonistas, or tiny limpets

I see collonista snails...

They are only out when the lights are out I think…

That's typical of collonistas
