Egg ID?

[Gribbliest]

Hey all.

I have a small (20g) breeder off the side of my DT. It houses a pair of occelaris clowns, some sexy shrimp, trochus snails and nessarius snails. Today I spotted these eggs on the glass. Any clues as to what they might be?

Many thanks,
Paul.

I've seen these once before, and I want to say they're stomatella snail eggs

Size for reference...

Ty for the answer, from what I am reading, stomatella snails are broadcast spawners... so not sure if this could be the case?

Looks like they’re nassarius snail eggs!

+1 to nass eggs and stoms broadcast spawning.

Given the number of small nassarius I have now, I’m definitely happy with this ID.

constantly finding new clutches(?) of eggs on the glass, so they appear to be happy right now!

Old post but these I know for sure are Nessarius eggs as I watched it happen. Very tiny! This is through a strong jewelers magnifying glass.

There is an unidentified clutch of eggs in the photo. I have no stomatellae.

Not nassarius, but a close relative -dove snails

Still think it’s a Dove? Looks like Nassarius Vibex to me..??

Agree on this being a nassarius vibex

Vibex rarely climb the glass... And they don't reproduce in our tanks.

I want to believe you. It just really looks like a VIBEX and has only been on the glass when laying eggs. But I agree. The Nassarius eggs look different from what I’ve found online.
