Can you help me identify these snails? Good or bad? [Video below]

3-4 mm long. I've seen them only on the glass, never attached to another snails (however I'm not able to inspect all of my snails). I witnessed it encountering a Torchus snail and the little one was thrown off the glass. The only snails in similar shape that I have are Nassarius snails.

To me, due to the cross hatching and the fact that it is on the glass, it looks much more like a Rissoid snail. They will crawl all over the glass. Pyramidellid snails will be all over any clams. You don't want the Pyramidellid snails! Rissoid snails are no problem IMO.
