Snail ID

Had the tank for a couple months now. When i first started i noticed one tiny snail and didn’t think anything about it. Now they are everywhere. Any clue what it is?

Could be collonista snails. Good cleaners.

The only snails I have purchased are dwarf ceriths and turbo snails. But, these don’t look anything like either one of those so i’m have no clue what these are lol

Look up limpets and see if they look like what you've got.

Just looked it up and they look identical. Thanks! Are they good or bad to have in the tank? Im seeing mixed opinions

limpets may chew on coral. Especially keyhole limpets

The small ones you have are perfectly reef safe and great algae eaters.
