Can anyone explain what this is?

Seems to be growing in the corners of my tank.

Looks like snail eggs. What type of snails do you have in your tank?

What’s the texture? Does it move? Very weird. Let’s ask #reefsquad for some help.

Nassarius eggs.

^^^Snail eggs, congrats on becoming a parent

 

[cvanchuck]

Will they live or get picked of by the fish?

 

[cvanchuck]

And are they bad for the tank?

Slimy. Not moving

Nassarius and Mexican turbo

They will most likely not result in many new snails, only trochus snails survive readily to adulthood. Mostly free fish food . No harm in leaving them.

Cerith snail eggs.

I think cerith and nassarius eggs must look very similar. I don't have any nassarius (just trochus, cerith, nerite, turbo) and have eggs like these all the time.

Trochus snails broadcast individual eggs/semen in to the water column.
