(I understand this fish will not work well with any other fish in the aquarium.... and I am not planning to have it when I add other fish to it - was there another concern that I am missing about the damsel?)

It is DAMSEL ABUSE!!!! It is sick, abusive, and unnecessary torture. Putting an animal in a poor environment (ammonia burns their gills) when it is completely unecessary is uncalled for. Take the damsel back now, you don't need it. As said above, your rock will provide plenty enough ammonia to cycle your tank on its own.

After doing some research tonite I am 95% sure that I do not have the pyramidal type snails... from the look I think I have collonista snails. Can't wait to get home and verify my findings.

Again thanks to everyone for the help they have provided

You're very welcome. Ah, well Collonista snails don't look anything like Pyramidellid or Rissoid snails. That should be an easy identification.
