Anyone know what type of snail this is? Attached is photo and the eggs. I was thinking it was a stomatella snail but wasn’t to sure.

They seem similar but I am not sure of the egg sac sizes here.

Looks like sponges in the 2nd pic
If you zoom in/look closely you can see that those are actually horseshoe-shaped egg sacs, but this reminds me:

OP, look up Bubble Snails from the taxonomic family Haminoeidae - they're eggs can sometimes look like this, so your snail may as well.
