Snail on a zoa frag

[Tofik]

Hello,
Please help me identify this snail, it was on my zoa frag. I noticed it when i took the plug off the frag, it has a tiny hard shell. Can it transfer it to my tank? I dipped my zoas in coral RX before putting them in my tank, if the snail is worth keeping can I dip it as well ? The water from LFS has pleny of microscopic things swimming in it, some look like pods, some like flatworms maybe... I know about quarantine, but I really have no way of setting it up. Let me know please if i should keep the snail.
Thanks.

Lookup sundial snail and compare.

I can't zoom in enough on your pics to see the pattern on the shell clearly.

Looks like a stomatella from the pic.

I took two more shots, and fount that its in fact two snails. one is about a 1/4 of an inch and the other is about half the size of a match head riding on the other ones back... crazy. They look similar to pictures of sundial snails I found online, especially the tiny one as its shell is more cone shaped than other one.

Sundial snail prolly mating I bet.

Thank you DCS, The bigger one really does look like it, now that you mentioned it. But the smaller one has a cone shaped shell. If I was to keep the bigger one, is it safe to dip snails in Coral Rx?

These are two separate snails, they 'crawl' on opposite sides of the plug now.

Look up stomatella. They look like a slug with a flat shell on their back that looks like a saddle. If it’s one of these it’s a keeper. They are great cleaners and breed like rabbits.

The snails wont survive the dip
