Somebody laid eggs on the glass of my tank. Or so I think. Who?

All I have in my tank (other than Hitchhikers) are the cleaning crew:

Scarlet Hermit
Zebra Hermit
Mexican Turbo snail
Nassarius
Bumblebee snail
Cerith snail
Margarita snail
Nerite snail


Emerald crabs
Brittle star
Blue legged Hermit
Astrea snail

The snails seem to smoke when they get happy, and I think that the crabs can't reach there... who then?
The eggs are white and very small, maybe 1/4mm or smaller diameter, I can barely make them out with the naked eye.

Thanks,
Mihai

That S-shaped pattern is normally associated with Nerite snail eggs. :)

Nope Nerite's lay single eggs all over the place. They look sorta look like sesame seeds all over the glass and rock.

So I can expect lots of little ones (either nerite or cerith)? How long before they're "done"? Any special needs?

Thanks,
Mihai
