This is a bit of a long shot. I have a few of these baby snails in the rear section of my tank. It’s hard to get pictures. My guesss is baby nassarius as they are the only snails I have (4). That are surviving and active. The shell appears to be conical and there are two thin tentacles just about visible.
My understanding though is that nassarius don’t survive breeding in reef tanks and I also didn’t spot any eggs

Hi can not identify the snail but I have small snails that do well in my system and they do not eat my coral here is a new small species that appeared in my tank and seems to like the algae on the glass

Those are limpets. Very good to have. I was looking at the wrong picture. Double Monti has limpets, the og is hard to tell from the pictures.

Keep an eye on your pumps. When they are that small they can get into them. I had that happen to me.
