    I have 3 Super Tongan Nassarius Snails, I belive..
    Sand shifters.. With a tube they stick up out of the sand..
    2 snails I guess.. have laid thousands of eggs in an thick zig-zag pattern on the glass.. I couldn't take a picture..

    Will they hatch..?? I have alot of planton, etc going thru my tank..
    If they do hatch, think they might live.. ?


    Thanks, Larry

    That description leads me to believe you have Cerith snails.

    I tend to agree that they are not Nassarius Snail eggs

    I am leaning towards Cerith eggs also.
