So I just ordered some snails from a certain vendor and received well over 100 if not 200 dwarf ceriths when I only ordered 12. Will this cause a problem for my new reef??? I'm concerned with my bio load as well as potential mass die off due to potential lack of food etc. I also added about a dozen each of nassarious, reg. cerith, and nerite snails. Any input would be appreciated:)

I am not sure but I have well over 300 in my 75. I also have around 150+ of another type of snail that I have no clue what it is and the other night seen i have babies of another type of snail I think it's turbos witch I don't have in my tank and I would say its around 300+ of them but they are only a 1/16 of an inch big
 
Update. I actually like having 100+ dwarf ceriths... my sand bed is nice and clean and I believe it is mostly due the the ceriths.
