Is This Snail Poop?

Hi guys, these little pellets on the left I assume are snail poop, is that correct? As for the brown stain on the right is that snail diarrhea lol, or diatoms?

Do you guys normally vacuum up the poop or with a wave maker will it be suspended in the water column? I have a wave maker still being shipped, it hasn't turned up yet.

I’ve never seen snail poop or diarrhea, lol ! The pic is blurry so I have no idea.

Literally just little brown pellets and a brown stain on the sand. Could try get a clearer picture but doubt it's going to achieve anything.

It's probably just some type of algae growth.

I read that hermit crabs will eat the snail poop, anyone know if this is true? But then there's the issue of them pooping everywhere as well lol. Never an issue with fish poop, it ends up in the filter.

I'm sure it's snail poop. My snails leave the same droppings. Good for my nitrates. lol
