Do you have Cerith snails in your tank? If so, They get my vote

Nah...this is how ceriths "get down" . They like to do it back and forth.

Yup. We have Super Tongan Nassarius, Margarita and only one huge Turbo snail, oh and the Trochus. I'm stumped.. I looked all over to find something on what it could be. No luck. :splitspin

Let's eliminate the nassarius snails

I saw a different pic Dean. I'll find it again. Give me a sec.

Here it is. Maybe not a cerith?

 

[Deanos]

I stand corrected! Nice find

Dom, those pix are def cerith snails. I thought the pic Dean posted were the typical cerith egg laying pattern. I'm proven wrong too.

Now you guys have me going nutz looking for Cerith snails. Either in a bag when I bought others or hitchhiked from somewhere.. cause I know I didn't pay any $$ directly for Ceriths at any point.

Eggs are still there, day four, noone seems to be interested in them. I'm just glad to see eggs not attached to an animal, the Cleaner Shrimp are with eggs often but I miss it when they/if they hatch. Probably will miss whatever happens to these eggs too... seems to be the way. lol

It may not be cerith snail eggs. It was the closest thing I could find. My cerith snails are usually out at night. Take a peak in your tank a few hours after the lights go out and see if you see any on the glass. They hide in the sand during the day in my system.

It looks to be right on.. though Craig did hit a few with the magnet before he realized. I'm surprised they are still there.. because the fish went in a frenzy when he knocked off the eggs that he did. I'll look tonight again. Nighttime tank watching is the best, imo. You never know what you may find
