Saw a bunch of these egg-like fellas wiggling on the top part of my cerith snail.

I just treated it like it was an invasive parasite; they easily came off the snail when I isolated it and blew some water over it.

But I’m curious, what were these critters?

!!! That would be hilarious--I was essentially a bidet for it then hahah
I asked because I thought I saw one move around and then go back to the cluster on top of the snail's shell.
