What are these? Keep or remove? There are at least a dozen in the tank.

Ok. So keep? There seems to be several. Will they bother the anemones or coral?

if its a stomatella snail, then no worries and a great addition to the clean up crew. They will spawn regularly, feeding corals which is a good thing. However, they can also get out of control. Keep an eye on your overflow if there is a gate valve or similar device. Likewise, skimmer output to avoid cup overflow.

Keepers. But I have never seen a stomata like that

Edit: the skirt of the snail reminds me of abalone. But the shell isn't right. Or is it a bad angle?
I was wondering if it is a elephant snail?
