Here are two pictures of a snail that I am guessing came in on some live rock, is this guy good or bad?

Hard to say with the photos provided, can you remove it from the water and get up close details of its underside?

Agreed, they do appear to be a species of Nerites, good little herbivores and should do quite well for you.

Good snails, but if they have a checker board pattern on the shell, bad, very very bad!

Maybe Collonista Amakusaensis?
