So I have recently noticed a bunch of these really tiny snails that I have never seen before, that are brown and have stripes on shells and antenna. Any idea what they are?

Cerith snails would be my guess. I have hundreds of them in my tank, but I did buy some at one point.

Every time I see little snails like that my mind shoots right towards a pyramid or rissoid but I am not ID expert... just paranoid.

Old post but that’s a rissoid snail. You don’t see antenna with ceriths. I’ve got hundreds and none of them look like that. Get those suckers outta your tank.
