First snail is a dove snail and are harmless and part of your algae cuc now and they do reproduce frequently inside reef tanks and you will get more probably, seccond one i will not say because i am not sure what it is 😅
 
I don't think the second one is a collonista, as collonista shells stay more tucked in........ maybe some kind of cerith?
 
Really looks like a dove snail! NIce:

I have a video from when i saw the first one of the second one:

Already seen the first baby Dove Snail (really bad picture), so the reproduction is already going!

There is only one bigger Dove Snail in the tank, so I must have been lucky and gotten one that was carrying fertilized eggs?

Super happy, as it seems to be way more productive than my Turbo Snail 😄

The second one almost looks like a Pheasant snail. Do they ever park themselves out of the water, or have a little trap door they close up with?
