Hundreds if not a thousand of these tiny snails all over. Can anyone tell me what they are and good or bad? They are maybe the size of my pinky nail or smaller. I do have a small amount of gha, but phosphates are .04 and running gfo and carbon.

I may be wrong, but they kinda look like baby Cerith snails. Do you have any adult cerith snails in the tank?

@ReefSquad, do these look like baby Cerith snails, or are they something else?

I just looked at one in my tank and that is either a Cerith snail or an impostor, LOL!!!

They look too wide to be ceriths to me...
@KJ
Agree. Hard to tell from the pic.
Can you put this snail in a clean container and make better pic for an ID?
