tiny red snails

[blemish74]

hi there, got these tiny red snails (?) with a white dot moving around in our reef tank.
they move around on the zoas , the walls, rocks, shells etc
has anyone had these appear before?

Sorry, but can't see them clearly from the photos, they look like cowries but that's all I see there.
Can you get better photo please (the focus on them)?

Looks like red nerite snail. Could also be a red variant of collonista snail. Both reef safe.

Sorry, can't help with it, never saw red like this one.
Last if you are able to take it out of the water then probably will be easier to focus on the shell. If you do that, make 3-4 photos, to can see the top on the shell, the underside (where the snail come out) and one side + if the snail start to come out, one shot on it (the body)

I have the same snail, he scares me! I’ve been in the aquarium hobby for 20yrs and have never fully noticed this guy before. Have you lost any fish?

Did you ever figure out what they were. I also have tiny red snails that only appear at night. They have a spiral shell some red some a grayish color. Could thes be baby turbo snails?
