I had JUST cleaned my tank and who do I see, a little snail with a long neck. It was TINY so I couldn’t get a decent pic. I did loss track of him. does anyone know if I should get this guy out sooner rather then later?

Looks like a collanista which are size of a pea- reef safe and breed readily

Is the shell long or short? Looks like you might have Nassarius snail.

Just to add on, the “long neck” would be better described as a siphon. The snail uses it to smell.
 
Follow up, there are now about 7 in my tank and the original one is about the size of a pea. How big do they normally get in you all’s experience?
 
that’s a small nassrius snail i’m guessing a vibex off the shell and about 1/4 of an inch is how big they get most of the time smaller
