Are these snails SAFE?

Can someone verify that these nails are indeed safe?
They don't seem to be bothering anything but I have a lot of them in my tank and just want to make sure.

Did they hitchhike on your rock and finally grow or did you pick them from the water somewhere?

They look very similar to Columbellids sp. Check here one looks almost identical, look at fig. 4 Whelks by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com

If you don't have sand they most likely get into crevices between rocks. They do better with sand
