I'm sure there are predators that would consume them...along with other snails/crabs/shrimp etc.
Why not just manually remove them? I have purchased zoo colonies in the past that had a few and after a Lugols dip and manual removal there were never no lingering problems. I have seen a couple on zoo colonies in my display and immediately remove them whenever I see them. I've never seen a need to introduce a predator specifically to consume them.

see the thing is...i don't have any corals in this tank...i got a handful of cheato about a month ago and i didn't see anything inside the algea....i searched through it pretty good..suddenly there everywhere. The cheato is in a breeder net because my refugium isn't set up yet...
I kinda think there baby astrea snails because the don't have the checker'd look like the sundials in the hitchhikers guide.
Are astrea/turbo snails white when there small? with small brown stripes?
The shell also looks smoother than the sundails..unless the picture makes them look more rough than they really are.

If you got a large colony of small snails on a ball of Chaeto I would be inclined to believe they are some sort of young algae eating snail.... Should be a benefit to your tank.
