Possible pest?

[WhitePanther93]

Was looking at my new corals today something long and stringy on the rock next to my new acan.

The pic is kind of blurry but it’s long white and tubular. It also seems to kind of be sitting in a flowerish kind of pattern which made me think somethings eggs because I know some creatures like to lay eggs in patterns.

anyone have any kind of idea what I’m looking at?

Which snails do you have in your tank? asking because those look like snail eggs.

A few trochus, a few nassarius, a few cerith, and a hitchhiker black snail that came on a coral from wwc.

Not very
Not many seem to live past larval stage.

Okay. I’m just glad it’s not some new monster pest. So far my tank has been free of anything harmful. Worst I’ve seen is some red cyano.
