How many snails like this would people recommend for a 55G BB tank?

They are a burrowing snail, So not really suited to a BB

You should check out the Reefkeeping article about these snails here.
http://http://reefkeeping.com/issues...1/mg/index.php

They were changed from genus Nassarius to genus Ilyanassa in the 70's.

Nassarius vibex are a different snail and a more appropriate species.

Quote:
Ilyanassa is not a reef snail at all. As a snail from cold and temperate water, keeping them at reef temperatures is sentencing them to a premature death. In addition, they aren't entirely reef safe, especially in tanks with sand beds.
They are an intermediate host for nine species of trematode fluke. (swimmers itch)
