If you look on the underside of the large snail you can see two white snails. Are these pyramid snails? If so, what can I do to get rid of them? Thanks.

Yup those two tiny things look like the pest snail. Just try to remove them and keep an eye out for any others.

Definitely. Mechanical removal and death by crushing. Wrasses have eradicated them for me in the past although I had an infestation at one point on a rather sizeable clam collection. Shouldn’t be too big of a deal if you don’t have clams.

They are a danger to clams otherwise detritus eaters
