Any idea if these are snail eggs?

These are above the waterline in my overflow. I've got Trochus and Nassarius snails in my tank.

Can you get a better photo?

Let's see if this is any better. Tough to get a good shot because of how tight the angle is.

Could it be bubble algae? I’d just remove it to be safe these are my breeding pair of Nassarius snail eggs odds of them actually survival super low just remove it

Pic fuzzy but looks like nassarius or cerith. Either will become fish food as they need cooler water for chance of hatching

Took them out. Soft and sticky. Not sure if it’s cerith or nass

You sure it’s not a sponge? Those look huge to be snail eggs

No idea! It’s pretty cool though hahah

I have to agree, those look way too big to be Nassarius eggs, and - to my understanding - most Trochus spp. are broadcast spawners, not egg layers. So, neither of those are likely.

There are a few Nerite species that have huge eggs, but if you only have Nassarius and Trochus spp., then sponges seem like a fair guess to me here:

Those are probably Nerite eggs - some Nerite species' eggs can get up to 4.5mm in diameter.

Need better pics- may be nerite snail eggs

These were the best I could do but they were out of the water. Not sure if Nerite's are like mystery snails in that regard.
