This guy recently showed up in my tank (Comes out after lights off). It was suggested it’s an olive snail. Could be, though it’s the size of a grain of rice right now so it would have to grow a lot to hit the minimum size of one. Is it an olive snail? Is it something else? I assume he came in on a coral, even though I dip all my corals.

Marginella snail remove them.
 
Marginella seems more likely than olive to me. Why remove? Can something that tiny really kill something much larger? Even my dwarf ceriths are huge in comparison. I see mixed recommendations - about 50/50 on good v bad
