bad or good snail??

[ZooZ]

I have seen some of these snails in my tank and wanted to know if they will bother any clams i get in the future. They dont seem to bother any other corals and I usually find them on the glass or rocks at night. Are they pyramidel snails? Sorry for the bad pics but its the best i could get.

It looks like a collonista to me. They stay tiny and don't do any damage that I'm aware of.

I used to pull them out too, I thought they were sundial snails. Then I saw what a sundial snail actually looks like.
