    I have never seen snail eggs look like that; not saying they're not, but the snail eggs in my tank look completely different. Mine are a bunch of small, clear circles with a small white dot inside each clear circle. There are usually 6-12 in each cluster. Do you have a type of snail that is known to reproduce in reef tanks?

    I'm 99% sure those are cerith snail eggs. Fawn, I think the ones that you are seeing are from the nano conch snails in your tank.
