Hey guys I have a ton of different snails and they are always reproducing and while most don't make it some do. I noticed a couple of these guys and can't be certain if they are just babies from the snails I have or pyramid snails??
Any help will be much appreciated!

I didn't know anything about pyramid snails until I saw this post. It looks like they attach to clams and decimate them.

If you have a clam(s), check it for signs of snails and if they're not present, maybe they're not pyramids.
 
I have a clam, he's been doing well and opening up, just recently I noticed him not opening up as much as he used to (but still opens up)...I did take him out inspected for pyramid snails the moment I found this small snail, I'll give it another closer look.

Another fact is I've seen the small snails on rocks and glass never on or near the clam, although I should give it a nice look a cpl hrs after lights are out.
Found a nice picture and article which helps but might have to look with a magnifying glass cause it's hard to make out 100%
