I noticed these TINY snails a few days ago, they are smaller than a grain of rice. Are they pyramid snails?

They must've hitch hiked on a zoa frag I got (I ordered Revive to do a dip but it didn't arrive before I got the frags). Will they harm anything else in my tank? Should I leave them or get rid of em? I read that they are clam predators, I don't have any clams nor do I plan on ever getting one.
 
Nope. Those shots are really cool. Almost looks like snails in a Tool video still.

They almost look like Malaysian Trumpet Snails. I have them in my freshwater tanks and I have read that they can be acclimated to saltwater.
 
Tagging along, I found like the same snails in my tank a couple months back, I don't have a clam, but there are a lot of them...
 
lol those shots do look like a Tool video still. The shells look like the could be from pyramid snails, do you have any tridacna clams?
 
Pyramid snails have a smoother, more translucent shell. They're probably a Cerith of some sort. I wouldn't worry about them.

I am just a worthless mollusc
I am just an imbesnail
My identification will complicate you
trust in me, and I'll eat you clam

I will find a center in him,
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me, trust me, trust me
