Strange snails in my coral quarantine?

[Stingray122]

Recently noticed some small white and black snails in my quarantine system. They are about 1-2mm in size, very tiny. Are these a pest? Should I not add these corals to my display system? They have been in quarantine for about 40 days and was going to wait the full 76 day. Thanks for any input guys. Did a little research but couldn't find these exact snails.

Collonista snails? If so, these are just harmless grazers that sometimes hitchhike a ride into our tanks via rocks, corals etc. No worries.

What color are the shells? If they are green with a bluish green checkered pattern they make excellent clean up crew. They are a type of nocturnal dwarf turbo snail.

White and black is a pest that eats zoas tho. Checkered box snail.

If you see any information on the reef stewardship foundation, or RSF, that looks like the snails they distribute that will breed in your tanks to take pressure off the wild reefs.

They are white and black, I do not have any zoas but did plan on getting some, they're so small its hard to see and I do not have a magnifying glass on hand. I don't think checkered, but more spotted.

Ill try to get some more photos, its hard to take pictures through the glass though as its not very clean atm haha.

Checkered box snails are very small. Pea sized. The good snails look kinda washed out when they are small.
