I have lots of baby snails. Is this okay?

I've got a 55 gal (I know don't even start LOL) with 2 clowns, about 60 lbs of live rock, hermits, a feather duster, two sand stars, and turbo snails.
After MUCH loss of life a couple months ago (due to overstocking and BAD advice from my LFS) we're just sitting on these guys. Not adding anything. Just letting these guys live happily and letting the tank mature. Everything is thriving right now.
My question. On the back wall on the (that I don't clean) I have little baby snail cacoons?? *shrug* I dunno what they are called. They've many have 'hatched' ???? and now I've got teeny baby snails. They don't bother me, kinda like em actually. But is this safe for my tank? Or am I going to have a billion snails in no time if I don't handle it now???
I've also found 6 TEENY tiny feather dusters throughout my LR. Assuming this is not only okay but good. Would like some confirmation on that though :)
THANKS!

IMO this is good. It isn't possible to get too many snails, if food runs short some will die. The natural order of the algea eaters. I have had baby turbos before, but I had problems in the tank and all the inverts died. Now I have a bunch of baby cerith snails. Feather dusters are a good sign of healthy live rock and water quality.
