Micro-snail

Can you help me identify these snails? Good or bad? [Video below]

3-4 mm long. I've seen them only on the glass, never attached to another snails (however I'm not able to inspect all of my snails). I witnessed it encountering a Torchus snail and the little one was thrown off the glass. The only snails in similar shape that I have are Nassarius snails.

Kind of looks like a baby Nassarius snail given its actually body shape.

Rissoid.

@Reefer Reboot just looked into those, also saw Pyramidellid snails, kind of looks more like Pyramidellid considering the shell ribs and columellar fold, what do you think?

To me, due to the cross hatching and the fact that it is on the glass, it looks much more like a Rissoid snail. They will crawl all over the glass. Pyramidellid snails will be all over any clams. You don't want the Pyramidellid snails! Rissoid snails are no problem IMO.

lol, @Reefer Reboot that was the same diagram I was looking at, I guess it just looks more like Ribs then Ridges to me. Either way thanks for the info I wasn't even aware of those little buggers!
