    it's normal,especially when nerites are first introduced,they probably won't hatch,they need tidal water conditions(sorta like brakish water).And no they have nothing to do with bugs,if you are seeing little bugs,thier most likely pods and a great thing to have.The snail eggs will eventually dissolve or break free.

    looks like nerite eggs to me too. these guys do have a habit of depositing eggs not long after being added to a tank, maybe it has something to do with changing conditions from where they were being kept, not sure im definitely no marine biologist.
