There's some little snails on some of my astrea's shell just on the underside. They never seem to leave the astreas shell. I was just wondering if they were astrea babies or some other snail just along for the ride. Here's the pic:

pyramid snails , they're predators on the astrea, pick them off, and keep your eye on the snails for a good while in case there are eggs somewhere

That is what they look like to me, also. Family pyramidellidae. To protect your Astreas you should remove all of these and check the Astreas frequently for more.

I also have some of these snails, As small as they are it would be near inpossable to remove all of them. So what should we do?

You just keep picking them off. I think that's about all you can do.
