Lotsa baby snails?

[Thumbster]

I’ve looked through the other snail ID threads and didn’t see anything so I’ll just ask what these are.

40 gallon tank about 3 months olds. I’ve bought Astrea, trochus and nassarius snails but have noticed more than a few stomatella snails that hitched in with the ONE pound of live rock that I bought from the lfs to add some diversity.

Just wondering what these might be? I’ve got around a hundred on my glass. They’re about 1/8” long and appear to have a shell.

I’m leaning towards stomatella but wondering what the experts have to say.
Thanks

Stomatella yes and Super great reef safe algae eaters - Lucky you.
You would not have a problem selling some

Thanks! But the pessimist in me is thinking….well crap. I’m trying to grow some other algae to beat out these Dino’s lol.

And apparently I’ve got what looks like some baby Trochus snails also.

Just did a quick count and noticed a dozen or so of these on my rocks. Shells are about 1/8”.

I guess the snails like the tank, Hopefully the corals follow suit.
