I recently found this on my live rock coming home from vacation, I also discovered baby snails yet I don’t think they are eggs, not too concerned but better safe than sorry!

Looks like sponges to me!
Hey I’m Cody, I’m new to this site and reefing in general. I know very little but I wanted to know can you identify what this is on my rock? This rock is in a fully cycled bare bottom Qt tank for Anemones only. The tank had a water change after last anemone was quarantined for 3 weeks in it. Tank has been running 2 weeks with nothing in it just waiting on an order for the next quarantine and noticed this weird white filler like glue looking substance in the pores on my rock tonight? Mind you I do have tons of copepods in this tank from doing water change in this tank for several months with clean cycled Display Tank water to kick start the cycling process. Is there a possibility that that is like a copepod nest or eggs? What do you think? Anything to worry about?
