Any idea what this is. It was on the inside glass. I scraped it off and removed it from the tank, but I'm really curious as to what it can be.

@vetteguy53081 To me, that pattern say's Mexican Ceriths rather than Nassarius. I have both Nassarius vibex and Nassarius distortus and both lay eggs like the first two sets of images below. Either way, good stuff.

Nassarius vibex:
