A couple of weeks ago i got a huge rock of zoas, and i noticed these shells on the side and assumed it was part of the lr, well they moved around, and only stayed on this zoa rock.
After some observation, I'm noticing a few polys looking scrappy
I googled zoa eating snails, and i took them out, i just want a second opinion and what i need to do to stop them from coming back.
I believe they're pyramid snails.

They look like 'Zoa eating' sundial snails.

Get rid if you like your zoas
 
I'd say more sundial. Pyramid snails are extremely small and more likely to be parasitic towards larger snails and/or clams. Never heard if them going after zoas. But def not pyramids just looking at them.
 
They are sundial snails get rid of the immediately, they are a pest and will eat all of your zoas. You will have to get rid of them by hand
 
Yes they do lay eggs but they reproduce slowly so dip your corals pull them out and inspect your zoas at night
