Found these eggs(?) in my tank. Tank contains snails, hermits, and a pair of clownfish.

Closest thing we can find is hermit crab eggs, unless it is not eggs.

hermit crabs carry their eggs in their borrowed shell. I think it's a snail

That's what we thought, but considered something may have happened to the crab (hence the brown stuff) and she dropped them. And the shape of the egg sac is the shape of the hermit shell.

Have 2 or 3 Astrea snails, and maybe a zebra turbo (black smooth shell). Oh, and a couple Nassarius snails.

Bumping to see if anyone knows exactly what kind of eggs these are.

I put them on the frag rack in a cup so I hope they are not Fireworm eggs lol
