Can anyone ID these snails that came with my TBS live rock and if they are reef safe? The main one I worry about is the baby on the glass which looks like a Whelk Snail. The first 2 look like a Cerith Snail but im not sure.

Here are some extra pictures I found them on the live rock at night. Right now they are really small about 1/4 of an inchFirst two appear to be florida cerith snails, reef safe clean up crew. I would pull out the third one and take well lit and clear pictures for a proper ID. It looks to be in the Nassariidae family which includes some predatory species and some that are reef safe clean up crew.
