Good? Bad? Neutral? What are these?

Update: Upon further research, I was able to educate myself a little. It appears the snails are harmless and the limpets?; are as well. The flatworms though; not so sure.

Hello all! Found a few new critters I haven’t noticed before. Seen a few of these little snails climbing around. They’re Uber tiny. Roundish shell. Pretty much white or a light beige color. Also have these UFO looking things. Hard shell. They cling on pretty good. There’s a lot of them; especially in my sump. Are these guys alright or should I be doing something to get rid of em? Thanks!

Aaron

Follow up! Now that I’ve noticed these little snails and these other things; I’m seeing a lot of them!

Also found some flatworms. A few that are pretty light colored and one large one that’s brown.

The limpets are probably harmless but keep an eye on them. Not all of them eat only algae.
Hmmmm. Alright. There’s A LOT of them! They’re all over my sump and there’s a bunch in my display in various places.

Snails look like collinistas. Good snails.
Sweet! That’s comforting!
