I'm pretty sure that would be a feat of nature
I think I have more than 1
I had a larger one months ago and last night moved a small one from the sump to DT, so who knows how many I have

I believe most Gastropods can reproduce sexually or asexually; so yes, 1 can turn into many.

Unless they can split themselves (they don't), they still need two to do it.

they are not like aiptasias and cannot split or regrow from a small fragment.

How exactly do they reproduce asexually? Stomatella snails spawn together in the aquarium releasing eggs and sperm. One cannot do it alone. Only one can still release eggs or sperm but that's not going to end up as larvaes.
