What kind of Snails are these? Are they bad for my Reef Tank?

[Popcorn_Willie]

I recently placed a new live rock into my saltwater tank. This morning I noticed about 10 little snails on the walls of my tank. I already have 4 turbo snails. What kind of Snails are these? How many snails is too many? Please help.
Thanks! !

Limpets and stomatella snails, both are good to keep. How many snails is too many? Just make sure they have food to eat. I hope you have a large tank for 4 turbo snails. You might need to supplement algae sheets for them.

Thank you!! I have a 75 gallon tank. The turbos have cleaned up most of my algae. I am not completely sure where the little snails came from. Will the snails take over my tank? Should I give them away? I just found about 4 more little ones in the tank.

No, they won't take over and no, no reason to remove them. I would definitely supplement algae sheets though, or you are going to starve those turbos.

Thank you!! Are there any negative effects from having them?

No. No negative effects. They do the same thing the snails you purchased do.
