i found them on some liverock.. since then they seem to almost take over the tank, they are ALL over the place once the lights go off.. should i be worried? dont seem to have any damaged corals. that i can tell at least. they are very small.. smaller than an eraser top or like a pebble you'd get out of a freshwater tank.. etc..

thanks!

What's a neritite snail? I thought it was nerite. Also, I thought those above looked like collinista snails but maybe I am wrong.
