(edit, or maybe just normal octospawn flesh at interface of hard part and active head?)

Are these snail eggs? Or some evil incarnation?
Adopted 32g biocube, all parameters fine.
I have 6 small nassarius, 1 trochus, 1 margarita, 1 cerith. I know they brees asexually.
Several pics as best as I could. Seems clear whitish pockets, and one seemingly stringy connection between two branches of octospawn.
(one cropped branch from fragging, not an issue)
I've had several small pockets of snail eggs on the glass and a few babies roaming about recently.

Any expertise you could share would be appreciated.

Crom.

The string could be from a vermatid snail. Do you see any tube where the string is coming from?
Sharkbait, I don't see any tube but I do have some old vermatid tubes, not many active now. I thought they were red tubes. I will look much closer but it seems connected. It would have to be a flying squirrel to connect, or float presumably. Thanks. Crom.

I'm not so sure about the "eggs". They look like possible snail eggs but they don't appear to be in any clusters. Might need more experts to ID them.
