Unidentified snails in LA hermit shipment

[Fizzicks]

Got 36 small blue leg hermits from live aquaria this morning. Noticed about 5 of em were actually snails. Brief hitchhiker ID threads/reef snails net any results. Very small slightly larger than a grain of rice.

Gonna need a closer look, can you put one in a white cup or something?

Most likely Dwarf Cerith snail.

Small cerith is what I'm thinking as well.

Feed on algae and detritus / uneaten food, and help to keep sand stirred.

Nice to have around!

It’s adorable!

Thanks for the help. They would be nice to keep around if they stay really small and unnoticed by my peacock mantis.
