Eggs

[Maho.B]

Hello. I woke up to find 5 different sets of what I presume are snail eggs that are sort of snake like in their pattern, and also one set of the traditional loop pattern which I believe are cerith snails? What are the non looping ones? I have cerith, nassarus, astrea and turbo snails. Also, do any of these eggs ever become snails without any special treatment? Thanks

#1 isn't eggs I think. I'll try to find what they are (unless @ISpeakForTheSeas beats me to it).

#2 are Cerith eggs, correct.

Interesting. The type in my first picture there are 5 different clusters of them around the tank...all showed up over night

Any chance you have multiple species of Cerith in the tank? The first set looks like it may be "regular" Cerith eggs while the second looks like "Mexican Cerith" eggs - for pic comparisons/reference in order:

What is this white stringy stuff?

What is this stuff. It showed up once before about 1 month ago. I cleaned it out and it showed up again...

White stringy worm on glass?

Hello! I woke up and noticed this worm type creature on my glass. I’ve never seen it before and can’t find anything online about what it really is. The only thing that changed recently is a got a new order of coral put in the tank within the last week. Are these good guys or pest? Anyone...

You nailed it. Last night I saw one of the Cerith snails laying more eggs in the non pattern way, two different Cerith species for sure. Thanks.
