Hi, can some please tell me if this is a pest? I dont remember adding these. Neither did i add live rock. There could have been eggs on my frags even after cleaning them.
They look like regular snails but just very tiny with a white shell and 1 antenna.

Shape looks more like nassarius, whelk, or dove snail,,, but I won't venture a guess as to which one (or something else).

Experts (not me) would likely have better luck with clearer pictures in a small container of water
