Recently added a blue maxima clam. So far looks good. Yesterday I saw 3 tiny little dark spots that I picked off, they look like snails when I magnify the photo. Very tiny 1/4 the size of a grain of rice. I’ll try to post pictures, any input would be great thanks.

Pics very fuzzy to tell what it is. Regardless, remove from clam
Hopefully it’s not pyramid snails which will literally kill the snail

Don’t look like a pyramid looks more like a tiny turbo snail,

They are great grazings snails that will add to the diversity of the tank. Good food for some larger wrasses.
