What starts with a few on your snails will become tens or hundreds on your rocks in due time.

yes - they will send out "nets" and suffocate/irritate your corals in no time. We keep bumblebee snails and melanurus wrasses to keep them in check after they exploded in our tank. The wrasses and snails got the bulk of them and any that I see that were missed I snap off and glue shut.

+1 to that! Had the same issue.
Not something that will destroy your tank, but will create issues down the line.
When in doubt, take it out!
