Bought 4 of these snails for my nano tank in the office. Noticed these tiny little guys on the back wall. I’m assuming they’re baby snails. Is this snail a problem snail that over populates the tank. I never had these before ?

Those white mounds don’t look like snails. Do they move? If yes, maybe they are a limpet.

Not sure what kind of snail it is but look more like eggs to me. Unless they move, obviously

Looking at them after all day they didn’t move, I see few more on the other side of the tank with a snail next to it. I added them yesterday morning and I saw 4-5 spots on the outside of the shell of one of the snails. I removed and cleaned all the shells before adding them in. 🤔 Should I pick all of them out?

Geez, looks like this guy is putting what ever those things are all over the glass in the tank. Im thinking of cleaning it out and donating the snails back. I never bought this type of snail. They were out of turbo snails.
