Idk guys what do you think I’m guessing pyramids snails guessing

I’m going to hope not and read about them, I don’t have any clams, I had a Zoe colony that came with a few mussels about a year ago but never any snails…. Ugh I hope they are just good snails like Nassarius snails or cerith snails, I also have a few bumble bee snails. Babies maybe?…..

Any chance you could get some close up pics of one of them under white light?

Pics of the top, the sides, and the bottom can be helpful with ID'ing snails.

Also I found this they don’t have ribs sooo… I’m guessing not pyramid snails

I don't know what your snails are at the moment - sorry - but I would lean more toward Rissoid snails or similar (funny enough, I didn't read what the second type of snail in your graphic was until after I had arrived at that guess separately), but I don't know for sure.

Just wanted to add - while graphics like this are good for general ID tips, they're not to be taken as law. For example, the link below has shells from the Pyramid snail family the shells; most of the shells show multiple of these points (like the hooked apex and the ribbing), but not all of them do:
