Tons of snails!

Noticed about a month ago that there were tons of little snails appearing everywhere in my fowlr tank. There must be hundreds and hundreds of them. I was wondering if this is from the live rock or is it probably from my Cerith snails mating? Also, is this a bad thing once all these snails get bigger?

Ceriths reproduce in my tank, no big deal. If there is not enough food, they will die back.

Probably collonista snails. No worries. I've never had any luck with the cerith snail eggs on the glass getting out of control.
