Have a bunch of these snails all over my tank. Its about 5mm in diameter in a somewhat conical shape.
Searched but cant find any pics that resemble it.
It doesnt look like a stomatella, but more like a mini astrea snail.

Any ideas on what it is or what snails/shrimp eats it?

Hard to tell from the pic, but if they're oblong in shape with a pyramid like shell (think of a volcano) then they're most likely limpets.

Sweet. Yes they are oblong shaped in their base and looks like a volcano.

Are there any fishes or inverts that can help control them?
