translucent jelly like eggs / slime?

are these snail eggs?, found it on one of my rocks and it seems to be this jelly like or web structure that moves around in flow with white dots / eggs?

when i moved it into higher flow the flow started to rip it apart and sent the eggs into the display, is this just snail eggs or something i worry about?


the usual snail eggs i find are on the glass and in circles / spirals and flat against glass, never seen eggs in clumps,

or maybe its stomata snails? (or however you spell them)

another type of snail i have in my tank are these guys, with white shells

Many snails we keep in tanks are broadcast spawners so you won't find snail eggs. Others lay white small egg containers that are more or less encrusted and not soft. Then there are snails that lay spirals of tiny eggs.

I can't see much on the images and videos. White light would help I suppose. This means I can only take blind guesses what it could be. Chrysophytes for example are relatively common in young tanks and sometimes produce white/translucent mucus instead of golden/brown slime.

hmm, not sure though since all the rock was cycled in sump of my other tank for over a year

The rocks look quite pale so pigmented organisms seem not to have settled at that spot yet. Maybe not enough light was available in the sump? So it doesn't matter too much if those rocks have been covered with bacteria already. Once light becomes available other stuff may try to take over.

Looks also like there are a few brown spots or a bit of brown slime/dust on the rock? That would possibly be diatoms and/or a few dinos which is also very normal in that case.

Better Images or even better a microscope sample might help to settle all of this.
