Help with snail id

[hnav94]

Still new to the hobby but can someone help me id these snails? Ive had a few egg spirals on the glass every mow and then and im hoping these are reef safe snails and not pyramid snails thanks!

those are looking like pyramid snails. Have you checked any clams or other snails you have to see if they are infested?

no clams currently and nothing on my snails so far, they just seem to stick to rock and glass

it could be that a nassarius snail bred in the tank but these look more like pyramids to me rn. Try to get a picture up close to see them when they are out of their shells. If they are sucking on the glass i would lean more towards reef safe

they seem to be scraping glass, I only have 2 nassarius snails that I'm aware of in the tank but I'd be ok with more, I want a clam some day so if these are pyramid snails I need to eliminate them

gotta bump this tomorrow when more people will probably see it. Im not the best with snail id especially that small. Worst case you could do an interceptor treatment but i would wait til tomorrow. Worst case you lose a snail or 2

@OrionN is knowledgeable about clams. Not sure his expertise with pyramid snails but maybe he will know
