Hey all, I looked in my tank tonight and saw a large population of small snails all over everything. These pictures aren’t great but do your best. Need to know if I should be concerned or not, they almost look like baby turbo but I know that’s not very likely.

hard to tell when they're that small.

Do you have trochus snails? They will spawn in our aquariums which is great since trochus snails are such great cleaners. I frequently have baby trochus that look more or less like that before they start developing color.

I do have a few I just didn’t think these little guys were trochus because the spiral part of the shell is on the side (its green in the picture)
