As far as I know from people I know who have marine tanks, Dove snails are pretty common. They seem to be quite good little cleaners and prolific breeders but nothing to worry about. All part of life's rich tapestry I suppose.

Yep , dove snails are good.

If you get too many , there are always people who want some ( me for example )
