Tonight after lights out I looked aroud with a flashlight.
I noticed tons of these snails on the stalk portion of my zoas.

The zoa's are happy and open during lights on.
Anything I should be concerned about, or just baby snails from clean up crew?

I have a ton of those in my tank. I'm not exactly sure on the id but I haven't had any problems.
 
Collonista Snail. Nocturnal algae/detritus eaters. Sometimes a pain as their small size allows them to get caught up in the pumps.

Cool. I always wondered the id but never sweat the little guys. I was like the OP searching around in the dark and saw them everywhere. Its the same way I found my chitons.... Except the chiton was spewing sperm all over the place. I have a ton of them too.
 
Thanks for the id. I hear ya on them getting into the pumps. They love my MP10!
