Small Snails kinda look like trochus

[FernFish]

I have these tiny nails all over my tank. They kinda look like small trochus

I would like to know as well, I have MANY of those in my tank. I know they came from my live rock, but apparently they reproduce like rabbits!

I have something similar if not the same? I let them alone and they don’t seem to bother anything except whatever they are eating. They came as a surprise and seem to be self sustaining in my fuge .

Probably not. Rabbits are live bearing.

Yes Trochus will breed in home aquaria. I have some and have seen babies also.

Yup, collonista snails. Not Trochus.

Are they any type detriment to a tank? Other than being VERY prolific!

No. Algae eater.
I do wonder where mine came from? I dip corals....maybe eggs.

No. Algae eater.

Great, because counting the very tiny ones (like 1/8" or smaller) I probably have hundreds of them.
