These are dove snail (Columbellidae) eggs. Dove snails reproduce quickly and are beneficial algae-grazers. Dove snails are often misidentified as Strombus maculatus, which is basically nonexistent in the hobby. Strombus conchs have stringy egg masses as opposed to dome-shaped egg clusters like dove snails.
