Not sure what this is

I dunno, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

Hi everyone, just noticed some funky looking stuff on one of my rocks, like tiny strings of white dots maybe? Can see it well to the right of that Snail.

Sorry the picture isn't great, lots of reflections because of tank placement at this time of day.

Thanks in advance!

I can't tell anything from the picture but it sounds like you're describing snail eggs...

Also, if that snail is usually on the rocks and not buried in the sand, it might be a predatory whelk... And you definitely don't want those breeding in your tank
 
This is as close and as best a picture I can get of them.

I was also thinking some sort of eggs.

Thanks for the heads up on the whelk, but it's just a Nassarius Snail climbing around because he smelled food.

Though the Snail being next to all the items in question makes me wonder if it's the one causing it. Time to go research Nassarius eggs! Thanks for the response.
 
Awesome.

Case closed then, we've got a bunch of snails on the way!

Thanks for the help ya'll!
