    well, i like them. They are in the same family as turbo snails, but they dont get much bigger than the ones you took pictures of, so they get in all the cracks and do a great job of cleaning up

    they probably came in on your live rock. I like them too. I think they actually breed in the tanks.

    I would assume they hitched a ride on something

    They definitely breed in our tanks, because i went from a few I would see every now and then to hundreds every night
