I recently found some of these listed on aquabid and would like to know some more info about them

i am setting up a small planted aquarium for tetras and inverts and with a planted aquarium it is always hard not to get those little snails that seem to thrive on whatever plants you buy and from the advertisement on aquabid these snails will eat other snails that arent of the same species and i was wondering if it would be safe to house these guys along with freshwater clams cause i find freshwater clams pretty interesting and would like to have one or two of them in the tank but dont want to have to worry about the killersnails going after them

I have them - Anetome Helena Snails - they will not touch the clams but eat any other small snails in the tank including the tough MTS snails

I'm thinking these are one of the Sulawesi snails. At least, they started to come out the same time as the Tylomelania and those.
