So I was cleaning out my tank today. I noticed the Nassarius on my mp40. Nothing odd they hang out their all the time. Then looking more noticed this white film on the pump. I was going to clean it. Till I looked again they look like thousands of eggs. This is in my 110gal mix reef. I currently only have 8 Nassarius in the tank.
1 is this good?
2 could a 110gal tank support this many Nassarius? if they are eggs?
3 what should I do?

Yup snail eggs. you can leave them, they most times dont make it as they get eaten by other clean up crew or your fish.

+1 I get these all the time, haven’t yet seen an overpopulation of nassarius snails. The eggs will likely get eaten by fish or not get fertilized and just float away eventually.
