Snail ID Please (1 Viewer)

I have these snails in my tank and I have no idea how they got there. The only snails I ever added were black foot trochus and astrea. Any help with and ID?

Are these known for reproducing rapidly? Because, I have been seeing more and more of these popping up in my tank, which is the original reason I posted the pics for ID.

Fairly decent in a good established tank.

Great cleaners and perfect size!

yes they reproduce rapidly. Karlo gave me ~15 of them in December and know i have around 50 of them.

Yup, they will reproduce fast but they do good work cleaning

Okay, good. I thought that they might be a problem snail since most of my astrea seem to have disappeared only to be replaced by these.

Astrea probably died on their own.

Almost looks like a Marsh periwinkle to me.

 

[Guest]

They look somewhat similar.
