Indeed unless you want tons of snails in the tank I would remove asap.

If you see one, usually more on the plant. Clean it under running water from the tab or quarantine the plant for a few days.

I've heard pond snails described many ways, but never "cool experience" 

Depending on the type of snail, they may decide to graze on your plants, keep an eye on them, and get ready for a population explosion.  They breed amazingly quickly, even in bad water conditions.

Says the clown Loach.  "Mmmmm Pond snails! Easy pickins!!"  The trumpets are the really persistent ones.  A clown loach will actually harvest the snail eggs from the larger snails and leave them be until the population drops, then it is bye bye snails.  I have noticed that trumpet snails are way better at surviving with a clown loach.  I have them in most of my tanks because most have sand substrates and the MTS really love moving around the sand, which is a necessity in a sand sub. tank.
