Snail eggs?

[quazi]

I assume these are snail eggs. Any ideas on what type of snail? I have trochus, astreas, ceirths, nerites, Nassarius Vibex, Zig Zag Periwinkles, limpets, and Fuzzy Chiton. Lots of critters. Maybe something else?

They look like nerite but hey tell me about that chalice that I see in the pic. It's really pretty.

I've watched ceriths and turbos lay eggs in my tank, and both types left long, coiled strings of tiny, tiny eggs. My guess is that those are a group of babies, either limpets or stomatella (hard to say).

 

I also remember reading about pyramid snails - white, and about the size & shape of rice grains, if memory serves - that parasitize and kill clams. Judging from the discoma next to them, these aren't even that big, but if you have one or more clams and can't make a positive ID that they're harmless, I'd suggest getting rid of them just to be safe.

You can see the egg shell of a nerite here http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/sept2003/invert.htm looks identical to your picture to me.

I had those all over my tank and had babies all over the place.

I am not sure what you are referring to. The Turbinaria frondens? Or the mushrooms?
