Topanga beach and I did a bit of research and they appear to be nerite snailsGood Morning Charlie, where did You collect these? Are they mostly black & real small?

I made the mistake of trying this from taking wild snails (California) and it was for sure too warm and they spent most of the time out of the water. I felt really badlyThey are probably used to cooler water and will not last in reef aquarium temps. The may also be intertidal and escape.
Just FYI collecting marine life without an SCP in California is very illegal, I would return them if I were you. Plus they are coldwater and WON'T live in your tank. I do have a field guide and I might be able to ID if you're still interested[emoji23] Topanga beach in California
Haha when I got them they climbed out of the bucket so I ended up tossing them backI made the mistake of trying this from taking wild snails (California) and it was for sure too warm and they spent most of the time out of the water. I felt really badly
