Pick out any you see now if you do not want them to spread like wildfire
 
It’s a bladder or common pond snail.
Also says your a fish expert in my baby pleco tank I have these rocks . I swear the plecos are eating them they seem to have more holes now do u think it's possible ?

It could be coral or some other calcium rich rock. They are most likely dissolving, not being eaten.

Coral/calcium filled rocks and negatively impact your tank. They raise the hardness of the water to an uncomfortable level for your fish.

One way to test it is to pour vinegar on them. If they fizz like crazy, they are calcium rich, and not suitable.
 
Thank you just read up about them turns out Bettas like to snack on them so gunna move them to Betta tank x
They can be beneficial, but annoying to look at. As @nik_n said, the Betta won’t be able to eat them unless the shell is crushed. (I don’t really recommend feeding it to your Betta...)
 
Bettas don't eat bladder snails
I would assume if it’s just the “insides” on the snail, the Betta may try to eat it. I’ve never heard that they eat them before... :dunno:
