Pond snail ID

These snails hitched a ride from OR to FL. Should I be concerned?

Looks like a bladder snail, have tons of snails in my ponds. If it is a bladder snail it’s harmless. There are other similar looking snails that will eat healthy plants though. Not easy to keep them out of our ponds as the snails and their eggs can be on anything and everything that gets wet.

I personally don’t worry about them, but I have turtles in my pond that eat them, also.

Thank you Jhn. I’m hoping they’ll stick to eating decaying matter and didn’t bring in any goldfish parasites.
