Baby snail? Pods? Or something bad?

[NanoNana]

These showed up this morning all over the glass, back of the tank, in the AIO sump. Only recent additions ere 3 corals which were dipped and some cuc. Ive had ceriths, nerites, Nassarius and an orange lipped conch for a while. Just added money cowries and astrea.

Likely snail eggs. They will probably become fish food.

I figured the nerites were the culprits since they are on the glass and back so often. I have a royal gramma, fire fish and clown goby. They have shown no interest in anything not in the water column. They don’t pick pods off the rock just eat what’s in the column so a few of them may make it. There’s nothing in the sump compartment with the eggs except biomedia. It’s just fun to watch it all happen. My two year old grandson get the magnifying glass out and examines everything very closely. He’s the one that found them. Lol
