Snail invasion
 
I woke up last night and decided to look at the tank with flashlight and I notice that most of the rock is cover by small snails. please identify and tell me if they are good or not. they only come out at night tho never even notice before.

I have those as well they are harmless.
Someone else asked about a week ago on here maybe have a look at previous threads about snails as the name etc was given.

they are fine easy money if you keep them growing while they grow your tank will be cleaner Once they spawn they do it like clock work
