Default Can someone ID this snail?

I found 3 of these guys in my 36gallon a few weeks ago. They were tiny when I removed them, and i have had them in a tupperware container until today. I put the three of them into my 88 gallon to help kickstart the cycle, but I also have a few plants in the tank as well. I am not sure what type of snail they are, but I probably should so I can make sure they dont eat everything

Thanks in Advance,
-Brian

They will eat dead and dying part of plants but I have never seen them go after a healthy plant.
