Please help identify egg sacs

[jimbob928]

I found these while cleaning my frag tank. I'm not really having any problems, but I found these in three places around the tank. It must be something small as I also found them wedged between overflow box and glass. That's less than an 1/8th inch wide, thickness of bulkhead rubber gasket. Sort of bowl shaped with a single attachment point on short stalk. Thanks for any help.

They appear to be snail eggs. What snails do you have in the tank?

Stomatella eggs maybe?

Trochus & Astria snails, I think. There are a couple of snails I don't know the name of that have a longer, sleeker shell and have a "trunk". I doubt they are snail eggs as I found some behind the overflow box, between the box & the glass of the tank. Pretty hard for a snail to get there as eggs were a couple of inches from the edge. The gap is only the thickness of a bulkhead gasket.

I have never seen stomatella in my tanks, lots of places to hide, so it is possible.

Stomatellas don't lay egg sacs like that. They are broadcast spawners. It's also not trochus or astrea. Sorry I can't tell you what they are, only what they're not...lol

Stoms and astrea broadcast spawn....maybe the trochus...

@jimbob928, did you ever figure out what the eggs were from?
I found some exactly like that.
