After 5 months or so, I have what appears to be hundreds of tiny snails all over my tank. The largest are maybe 2mm, but they are teeny. All variaties too, some Stomatellas, but most have either pointed shells like Ceriths and others have round shells like Turbos. Some white and translucent, others darker and reddish. I have been keeping a close eye on my snails and corals to make sure none of them are predatory like the Pyramid snails (I believe that's what they were called). All seems fine but I was wondering if I should attempt to vacumn what I can off the glass.
 
If they are just regular snails I would leave them alone. If you have too many later on you can always sell them.
