Guys, I have these snails ALL over my Reefer 250. I tend to not exaggerate, but when I say there are hundreds of them, I mean it. Check out a close up pic of one small rock, more than 10. They are all over and growing fast, - they went from small tiny 1/3 of a pinhead to doubling in size in 3 days. I think these might be babies of my adult trochus banded snails? Pic of the adult attached.

If so, big question, what, if anything should I do? If they are harmless, I assume very soon they will run out stuff to eat, since they are all over the place. Suggestions, thoughts? Thanks, guys.

Those r trochus snails, good problem to have. I have them all over my tank right now, about 6 bucks a piece.
 
If I had that many I would sell them once they get about dime sized. Probably one for every four or so pounds of rock is all you really need, more than that will just die off eventually.
