Baby turbo snails? Cone shaped...

[Skarletskunk30]

I have turbosnails, Mexican turbos and some nerite snails in my 16 gallon bio cube. There is probably about 75 of these in there. I believe these are baby turbos due to the cone. What do you think they are? I am planning after they grow a little bit to give some to my lfs. Will these babies hurt my tank? I only have a watchman goby, cleaner shrimp and 2 clowns. Any input will help! Thanks

Looks like astrea snails but can be limpets. See which one it is:

Hmm.... could be either or. They look more of a cone turban shape over the flat but from the pictures of juvenile limpets that could be a possibility. Are limpets harmful at all?

Limpets are good clean up crew.

This is a closer pic I just got of them. They only come out when the lights are off. On the shell you can see there is a dark spot. I guess it can be either or.

Both are reef safe algae eaters

I think you might have some baby stomatella snails there as well as limpets.
