Hello All!

Any ideas of the species of this snail?
Slightly conical, reddish and white. Quite small at the moment, but I am noticing more by the day.

Are they invasive? Good or bad?

Thank you all,
Your help is so much of value!

Hard to see but looks like sundial snail.. not good if that’s what it is . I found one in my zoa colony at night when they were closed up
 
Confirming collanista which these small snails of the genus Collonista are commonly referred to as mini-turbos or mini turbo snails, since they are smaller than most other well-known snails of the family Turbinidae deemed reef safe and eat algae. They tend to come out more at night but you'll get to see a few during the dau and they breed very easily
 
Thank you so much for the the id.

All pics are of of the same snails.

After further research I agree that they are collanista snails.
collonista snails, good guys, they multiply quickly

Edit: not sure about the bottom pic though

Yep . I agree with above after looking at last photo
