Should I remove? Is this a problem or a good sign?
It means your tank is healthy. My snails did that a month ago. Yesterday I took some of the trochus babies to my LFS and got $80 worth of stuff for my extra snails lol.

How fast did your torches snails grow? My baby trophy’s are growing so slowly!
Pretty quick. They are all dime size now after a month, month and a halfish. I still have around 100 ;Dead lol

Mine are pea sized and I noticed them 3 months ago. Wish they grew like yours
Pea size to dime was quick for me, like another week. I don’t scrape my back wall and they all chill on that all day. Yours will grow, no worries lol.

I've never raised ceriths or nerites successfully but they lay eggs all the time. Trochus raise very well in aquariums.
This is all that's left of cerith eggs layed this morning.

Nerite eggs layed a few days ago

Baby trochus in my pico. Their parents were raised in the big tank. Pompom crab for size reference.
