Had a couple of these guys pop up in the tank, has a smooth round shell like a garden snail. Hitchhiked in from coralline wafers, is about 3-4mm

Any ideas? can turbo snails have round shells, ive only ever seen them with spirals?

Look up Banded Trochus snail to compare. Does it have a flat operculum or conical? (Conical would indicate Sundial) At only 3-4mm it may be hard to see.

Managed to get this picture today, Looks similar to a sundial only with a much wider shell and less banding, been trying to track him down but already disappeared in the rockwork again.

It’s only been cleaning rocks so far.
