Was wondering if these are reef safe?

Agree vermetid snails. Very common
 
Do I need to renove them, if there anyway to remove them? Thanks!
Removing is darn near impossible. Best bet is to limit the excess nutrients in the tank, don't over feed, only give what your fish can consume. The more excess food the more snails they'll pop up
 
there are those who say that bumblebee snails will kill/eat/control vermitids

I had a few vermitids in my DT - added 3 Bumbles to a 180

now the only place I have vermitids is in the overflow, and those I kill with forceps when I can reach them

was going to add a bumble to the overflow as an experiment
