Size compared to millimeter. Mostly these spend time on glass and rock instead of on clam or larger snails.

Pyramids are smaller than a grain of rice.
If you have clams/Tridacna elevate them above the sand bed on PVC. Examine the every other day and remove as indicated. Check large snails. If they are Pyramids you will find them at night on clams as well as large turbosnails.
 
Looks like it
 
thats 3 ,3 strikes there out ,
 
I'm not sure they are pyramids. When I have had them they appeared more white in color. Also the fact that you say they spend more time on rocks and glass does not sound like pyramids.

Thanks for the suggestion, calms on PVC sounds a good idea! I have removed all by larger snails down to the refugium where I haven't seen any of them.
