Snail eggs?

Looks like snail eggs to me. I'd assume they will hatch, but they most likely won't survive their pelagic larval phase.I have several of these on glass. I am guessing some sort of snail eggs. Will they hatch?

What sort of snails do you have? Strombus maculatus(?) by any chance? I know my Strombus snails leave egg sacks all over the place but the difference is that with Stormbus there are about 4 to 10 eggs inside. The image you show have only 1 or so it appears.
Example of mine below:

What snails have you introduced in your aquarium?
I have nassarius and dove snails, my doves are the egg layers.
I have seen multiple baby doves in my aquriam but possibly 5 living out of all these eggs.
Your pictures show only one egg so I'm unsure

If those are all your snails, I'd say Astrea.

You could do a quick search on those snails to see what images return. I don't recall Nassarius or Cerith snail eggs looking like that. More of a mass or spiral mass vs. an egg sack.
What sort of rock do you have? Any live rock from TBS or KP? Hitch hiker snail? You could wait an hour or two after lights off and see what may be on the glass or acrylic in that area.
