ID for two different critters...

I have had a small explosion of these tiny little white snails in my 55 gallon tank. They are so small it is really hard to get a picture of them... I've seen things like Stomatella and Pyramid snails but not sure if this is them. There is at least 100 of them. There is also a another tiny guy that kinda looks like an paramecium.

Here is them all over the glass


Here's the best close-up I could get


And here is the other unknown guy

Collonista snails would be my first guess. They're just harmless grazers that reproduce quite well in or tanks. I'm not sure about the second picture. Check this out.

Awesome Site. I think the second one may by a Chiton. I have quite a few of them in my 55 gal as well. Anyone had any issues with either of these two? That link says that both are a "Score!" but I was just concerned with the shear numbers and how quickly the little snails popped up. In my past experiences, that is usually not a good sign.
