Looks like cerith snails could be wrong but they have a bunch of variations on there shells.

Hard to tell on the first one. Might be a cerith. Typically, two common ceriths one is brown with smooth-ish speckled shell, the other is florida cerith with grey/black shell that is rough/bumpy.
The second pic looks like a whelk to me. If it has kind of a periscope snout/tube going up from the front, it's probably a whelk. Lots of different whelks, but often they are predators that will eat other snails.
To be safe, take them both out and put in your sump.
