    I had a 29g tank that had a bad infestation of small, round snails.
    I'm not up on snail ID, but these started out at pin-head size and got
    up to a little larger than pea-size.  Brown shells, reddish animal.
    They definitely put holes in my anubias nana -- pin holes at first,
    but growing to half-inch across.  I nuked the snails with massive,
    repeated doses of Had-a-Snail(R), but you might want to be careful
    about dropping that much copper in a tank.
