Do you have any images from the other side? It's kinda difficult to ID snails accurately from their foot in most cases.

I unfortunately dont I think I saw it a week ago first at least this type of shell may or may not be the same snail I may not ever see it its in heavily planted tank also with a lava rock and moss in the bed so sometimes I dont even some fish for weeks but its okay I was just curious thanks for the feed back if I do see it again I will try to take other shots 🙏

People use the term "pest snail" loosely

I think this is the actual pest snail

Honestly... I keep thinking I've gotten them all and then I see more. Every morning I'm sitting in front of the tank picking out these guys and bladder snails 😵‍💫🤣

At least bladders have nutritional value and eat algae. Those other ones do NOTHING
