Hello again! I recently got a bunch of saltwater snails sent to me by mistake (I ordered dwarf blue leg hermit crabs and ended up with a mixture somehow) and as I have zero experience with them don't know what type they are. I've had them in my tank for a bit and I've been trying to id them, but there are a few that look quite similar so I was wondering if anyone knows what these are? I've included some pictures of what I think are eggs that one just laid as well. Thanks!!

Agree cerinths, they look small so probably ‘dwarf cerinths’, they’re just smaller than the standard cerinth snails
 
Thank you all for the ID!! Now for my next question lol, does anyone know how to care for baby cerinth snails? Just looked in my tank to find tons and tons of what I assume are baby snails.

No special care required - they do fine on their own given an ample food source.
