They are Ceraesignum maximum (formerly Dendropoma maximum) and by my experience they can get quite numerous and are not as easy to kill as you may think, at least not in a fully stocked tank.
It seems they are affected by a pathogen that kills them very targeted. Unfortunately it's nothing you could easily get.
I've employed a few bumble bee snails for the little ones and plan on training a couple of figure 8 puffers to go after the large ones.
