That is correct. We call them mini-ramshorns. They will mostly die off if you have other snails that can it compete them, such as pond snails. I do like that they eat hair algae 
Ramshorn snails or pest snails?

Started a new tank last week, I bought some new plants and moved some plants from another tank (which has ramshorn snails). Can anyone tell if these snails are pest snails or ramshorn snails, I've heard something about them being pest snails if they're leaning?:|

Yes, but keep in mind how shall that are. They don't make quick work of it, but I have had them sit and visibly munch on hair algae. Some other members here have said they ate holes into their plants, but I've never had that. Different species? Dunno.

That's my belief is that holes in leaves created by these small snails are due to the plant being unhealthy to the point that the leaf was soft enough or dieing already.
