Does anyone know the name of these snails?

They'll hunt at night, and disappear as soon as the light goes on. The more important thing is do they good or bad for my tank?

199 out of 200 snails are good for the tank.

There are more to avoid than just the following, but this is the one to watch out for.
Sundial snail, eats zoanthids.

Don't think clams eat any snails, but clams do get attacked (and infested) by tiny little beige pyramidellid snails that sucks out it's juices.
