Aye sir.

 

[rdnelson]

That is what I thought. Cool. How long before they hatch or will they get eaten first. LOL

 

[fish scales2]

Food for sure!!! Nerites I believe.

 

[dawgface]

I was thinking Ceriths myself.

Over the next couple of days the eggs will start to weaken their hold on the glass and become most likely food or skimmer/filter sock fodder.

 

[rdnelson]

Kind of what I figured would happen to them. Still pretty cool to see. Just added some of each on Tues night so I guess I got more than I paid for. LOL

Correct

Yup, as I said, I guess I got more than I paid for. LOL

They are ceriths. I watched mine lay a bunch a few weeks ago.

 

[rhyerob]

I thought ceriths laid their eggs in a spiral pattern myself.

 

[dawgface]

Some do, mine lay like the above.

Couldn't you scrape em off and put em in another tank to grow fairly easily? Or would they get damaged too much. Anyone ever try here?

 

[fidofence]

I would put them on crackers

Escargot!!!! LOL

They will hatch and most likely never grow past a pin point. Used to have hundreds of baby nerites, ceriths, turbos, and nausarius snail babies. That was until I moved my tank. And started with new sand.

My salinity was at 1.024. Now they may grow larger in brackish water but they most certainly will hatch and live in a reef setup IME
