Odd snails

[ahiggins]

hey y'all.
Found these on the underside of the astrea snails mantle. Are these these the ones that eat mantles of clams?
I don't have any clams but will they damage anything else?
I do have some ceriths in there now. They look like they could be baby ceriths, same shape but super tiny.
Any ideas?

Pyramid snails. Yes they are predatory and bad news for your snails. This thread was in regards to clams but it may help you https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/pyramid-snail-removal-tips.57886/

Snails only?

From what I have read they only prey on clams and snails, I think other inverts are safe. @Lionfish Lair will know more about them.
