I noticed these sponge shaped things on my rock lately are they pyramid snails?
I also not use some baby snails lately, maybe baby trophy’s leading me to thinks they could be eggs.

Id love to help, but honestly, these pics are extremely fuzzy and filtered and gives no clue to what you are describing.

If this helps....... these are pyramids

It was at night and I had to point the flashlight. The withe fuzzy stuff is still there making me think it’s a sponge as it’s not just the pic it’s fuzzy in real life. I’ll take better pics when the lights turn on.
 
I see pineapple sponges...the pic above look like nerite snail eggs, and these are pyramidal snails on an astrea snail.

I do see pyramid snails and eggs
 
Pyramid snails are tiny conical snails about the size of a grain of rice. I’d need a few more morning cocktails to be sure from those first set of photos. I’ll have another please.

Are they moving around? Pyramids will move and sponges not so much. Hth
 
Frankly, none of the pictures look like pyramid snails to me. They resemble grains of rice. If you have a clam, they will be clustered around the foot and/or within the scutes near the base.
