I have located some in Calgary. They're aren't the exact species I was looking for, but they are the family I was looking for. They came in as "Needle Snails."

I just want to double check before I buy them that they'll do what I want them to do: eat Mexican Turbo snail and fish waste.
Yes, I believe they are reef safe. They will tend to eat algae and diatoms as opposed to detritus.
