what snails can be kept with dwarfs

I had tore down my 12g seahorses tank and restarted it and in the meantime all my dwarfs are in 3g tanks. But the 12g tank is almost done with the cycle, i would like to add a 1-2 snails as a small clean up crew if possible but i cant seem to find anything online about what kind of snails would be ok, everything just says "snails" but no specific name. I do have a hermit crab in the tank at the moment to help clean it up but he will be removed once the dwarfs go in later on. Also snails that wont eat macro algae. Thanks.

Nassarius vibex works well with dwarfs. Just make sure you get the real ones and not the fake ones.
