Will cerith snail eggs likely survive? This is my second patch of them the first is a week or so old, my clowns seem more interested in the abundance of copepods than picking at the eggs, how long does it take for them to hatch typically?

Low
They often become food and hatch rate best in cooler water unfavorable for fish

The only fish in the tank are two clowns and a engineer goby so I imagine if some magically did hatch a few could survive out of luck which is why I am asking. Kind of cool though it took the snail about 2-3 hours to lay one batch of eggs. I wasn’t sure what they were I was scrubbing them off the glass all but the first one I couldn’t reach and this one today I seen whose eggs they were. My stomatellas are constantly having babies.

All 3 occupants listed are bound to eat the eggs
 
So today I noticed a bunch of round look tiny snails all over the black glass which I ofc can not get to along side a few hundred probably thousands of copepods. Could these be baby cerith snails from the first batch she had? Sorry pretty hard to get a clear picture sometimes.
