I have a Halloween hermit crab that decided to ditch its shell right before my lights went out tonight. I had my phone out with flashlight on to see if it was molting and notice 2 flat things with bumps on them riding a nassarius snail. The snail turned and one came off and blew off but managed to catch a picture of the other. Anyone know what it might be. Thank you.

Looks like eggs of some type, but not typical nassarius snail eggs, perhaps hermit eggs. Let's see if @KJ may know.. Following along for the answer :)

I like to see this flat things with bumps in a container filled with water for better ID.

I searched all over for the one that floated off and lured my snails up and the cluster riding the snail has since fallen off. I will keep searching and post if I find another. Thanks
