White snail ID

[mattybecks]

When collecting gracilaria from the beach here some little white snails seem to have come along with the collected pieces. I have only seen them on the glass, and they don't seem to get very big. Are they ok to be in the tank? they don't seem to be doing any harm. I couldn't get any decent pictures, but managed to get a clearer video of the largest one.

Not sure but they do look similar to pyramid snails... check the undersides of any other larger snails you have in the tank (if any).

Might be Rissoid snails.

Thanks. They tend to hang around this area only (on the pump and on the glass around that side of the tank). Don't venture further out. I haven't seen any snails on the rocks or anything. They seem to be grazing on algae and ignore the other tank inhabitants and my other two snails who sleep in their area occasionally.
