I have hundreds of these guys that have popped up over the last few months. At first I was thinking they were baby stomas but now I don't think that's the case. Their "shells" are pointy on top though I didn't think they looked like pyramid snails either. And ID would be awesome!

Collanista snails which multiply easily and good algae eaters and stay small

Not Collonista. These are rounded rather than being flattened and have faint stripes.

First off, welcome back to Reef2Reef! How’s the elasmobranch tank?
Looks like limpets, volcano-like snails which are occasional hitchhikers and generally good algae grazers.

Hey I remember you! Good to be back! All my fish are doing amazing, though my coral crashed a year ago and I'm just getting back to the reefing side of things. Fingers crossed it's better this time around

Good to know they are friendly though because they are seriously everywhere ha! Thanks for the ID!
 
Looking on a large screen- indeed limpets also reef safe and multiply same way and great algae eaters
