Baby snails?

Cool
I was running tank without filter socks for about 2 months. So maybe the larvae were able to survive?

Congrats!
These are likely beneficial snails, although they are unlikely to grow large. Keep an eye on them and make sure they are not sundial or pyramid snails:

I don’t know what type but I only had turbo nails and astrea snails but I don’t see the shell curling so I guess they are astrea . This might be the first time I don’t have to buy more snails….lol
Markbluereef what kind do you think they are?

Sometimes i catch my snails spawning. My water gets cloudy. Than I watch the males release sperm and female release eggs. I have grown them to adult size in my tank. At first I liked it knowing I never have to buy snails again. They became a problem they were all over the place.I found tiny snail in pvc which eventually can become a problem if they grow.
Yes ! They are all over the place . Gets hard to clean the glass cause they are in the way and won’t move they’re in the power heads, plumbing , just everywhere A good problem to have in reefing.

Looks like Colonista snails, usually come in as hitchhikers. I have them, bought Bumblebee snails to help keep them in check.
