Unidentified snail and plant

Hello guys,

So I have started my second tank a couple weeks ago. 120L Juwel. Everything going pretty well except the UG I wanted to try which is melting away.. but I was expecting that anyways. The tank is in its brown diatoms phase since a few days. Adding a picture. I'll see if I remove the UG patches in a few days if nothing survives underneath.
Also waiting for some anubias snow white to be delivered.

So just two questions, theres a little snail that came with the plants. I don't care it being there, I like pest snails. But this one doesn't look like the pest snails I had in my other tank. its already over 1cm after just some days. Just wondering if you know what type of snail it is exactly. Adding a few pictures.

And finally, the Bucephalandra I bought came with some tiny little moss growing on it which I didn't notice. After examining the plant a bit closer today, I saw that this tiny little moss seems to grow. Now I really don't care as long as its not something that can harm my plants. I just don't know what type of moss this could be? It is very small, grows vertically so far. Adding pictures.

Thank you.

That might be what it is yes, never had those before. Thats fine.

And I think I may have found what that moss is. Looks like LEPTODICTYUM RIPARIUM or Stringy Moss. I'll keep it.

Beautiful tank, nicely laid out.
Word of caution....Ramshorn snails are prolific breeders, more so than bladder snails.
Thank you. Yea I read that. I will let them do their thing for the moment. I have an Anentome Helena waiting in another tank to join the party if they get out of hand. She already handled a pest snail invasion once all by herself although I only wanted to "reduce" the population. o_O

Wish my single Assassin would be as successful (she introduced the Ramshorn in my tank). I just don't dare to get a second one.
