Are there any nuisance snails

Just curious..I had to restart a fw tank because I had an outbreak of them I couldn't get under control.

Now in my tank I've seen like 5 or so of these tiny little snails. I made a couple attempts but couldn't get any pictures that would be beneficial. They aren't much bigger than a couple mm's. Not sure if they're babys or something..but if there's a possibility it's a pest or something that's going to repopulate fast I'm going to start pulling them.

Anyone have any picture charts or anything like we have for crabs?
 
You can check on-line order sites for types.
The only nuisance snails I think are the ones which are big and knock over my plugs and rocks.
 
Your little snails are probably colonista snails -- they are really common.

Pest snails that eat zoanthids are pretty common. Those are sundial snails.
