Please ignore the hair :) It's on it's way out thanks to skimming and basting.

I've searched the forum and Google images. My ammonia alarm badge came dislodged to I took the opportunity to clean the glass behind it. I nearly scraped these off tank wall. They are green, uniform, and had a cerith snail hanging out near them for a couple of days. However, these don't at all match the color or geometric pattern a search for "cerith snail eggs" produces. First off, these are green.

Sorry for the potato photo.

Thanks for any info!

Ok today I got some real eggs - and I caught mama laying them. I hope they hatch and do well - I imagine they will get sucked through my overflow though. Yes I have an epidemic dose of the little spiral white worms. This was a small portion of my tank I did not clean due to the egg volume from this snail :)
