Egg ID please?

Hello fellow reefers

Found this egg mass all over our Flipper magnet cleaner. I’m gonna guess they are snail eggs and possibly Nassarius snail eggs? We also have cerith, trochus, astrea and plenty of other assorted inverts.

I will cut to the chase and tag @ISpeakForTheSeas to save some time!

Based on the last pic, I would say Nassarius eggs too (that's an interesting location for them though) - the palm tree/frond pattern:

Thank you both! Yes indeed an odd location. Most of the Nassarius we have seem to sleep in the sand almost directly below where we park the Flipper (if we leave it in the tank). I mostly take it out after using but we seem to have left it in the tank for a few weeks and this is what happened. I hope they lay again in a more convenient location.
