Hello! So I’ve noticed for a while that i’ve had these little circular creature things show up in my tank. I’m not sure what they are but Ive been squashing them all and more just keep coming. Can someone tell me what they are and if they are any threat to my axolotl?

they look like limpets, quite harmless and will help clean the tank.
 
Probably genus Ferrissia, a limpet-like pulmonate snail akin to ramshorns.
In Europe, we have Ferrissia fragilis but I wouldn't risk a species-level identification.

Good for the aquarium, as Wolfen said.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
