Is this snail reef safe?

I’ve never seen it do anything other that clean the rock but it seems to only show itself at night and it kind of looks like a sundial snail so I thought I’d double check here. Rock from TBS if that matters.

Looks like it might be a Collonista Snail, also called mini trochus snails. Reef safe algae eaters and they stay tiny.

Thanks, that might be it! How big do those get though? I thought they remained teeny tiny. This is approximately 1/2”.

I did a google image search and came back with several options but I thought Agathistoma fasciatum looks promising. Do you think that could be it since it’s Florida rock?

I suppose either way it’s safe to put back in the tank.

Thanks for weighing in

Most places say 0.39" - 0.79 for Agathistoma fasciatum so I think that might be the winner, and it's no problem
