How long for baby snails to appear after a spawning event?

[PeterLL]

I captured my Tectus Snails releasing their goods into the water column a couple weeks ago. I turned of all equipment bar a nitrate reactor, and even the powerheads for a few hours. I don't even have a sump for the mto get sucked down into. Any idea when babies normally pop up? I've looked day and night at the tiniest white specks and not seen anything at all

They have a plan tonic phase that does not lend itself to our turnover, filters and protein skimmers. Always hope for the best while expecting that this will not work.

Often, the eggs get eaten and do not hatch but this is the reef hobby, and always a mystery or surprise

Ps. The banded Trochus snails breeds in the reef tank .

Yeah my snails released their gametes in the water in a fashion identical to trochus snail spawning, and there is a lot of accounts online from folk who have had bot hthe Trochus and Tectus Snails spawn and then young snails start appearing. My tank already has very little mechanical filtration (No Skimmers, Floss, or Sump) so I cannot imagine why I shouldn't have babies. Just wondering how long for them to appear / when I know to give up looking lol
