    If that's a nerite snail, I don't believe it's him. They leave little white sacks (look like dots) filled with eggs. It could ne a cerith.

    They won't survive. Clean away.

    Possibly they can; depends on who they're from.

    Trochus are know to spawn in captivity, but are broadcast spawners as far as I'm aware..
