Omg I’ve had these too and never knew they were eggs 🤣

User Avatar @PicoReeferSF 64d

lol I’ll let you know how long it takes until they come out?? It’s still just a squiggly line

User Avatar @kellbells08421 64d

Yes I’m curious!!! Anytime I’ve seen them I’ve removed them bc thought it was like a salt buildup or who knows what … never woulda thought eggs! I need to buy more snails so next I see that I’m leaving it alone to hatch 🤣

Oh wow I never knew snails left trails like that! Looks super shiny and kinda cool honestly. If those are snail eggs like @amberbamber said I wonder how long till they hatch? I’ve only had snails crawl around but never seen egg trails myself. Also that blue fish looks like a chromis right? I really love how bright and vibrant they get under good lighting. Your soft coral in the corner has such a delicate feathery look too, I bet it sways nicely with your flow. What kind of lighting do you run? I’m still figuring out my PAR levels to get my softies to open up fully. Excited to see how your

I got two Trochus as my first snails ever. Tons of eggs and now there’s like 100 baby snails in there as we speak. Whenever I clean the glass my flipper makes it rain baby snails. Had to move the dad to another tank.

Eggs that won't hatch unfortunatly.

User Avatar @PicoReeferSF 63d

Yeah so far still just a trail, how come they won’t hatch?

User Avatar @FarAwayReef 62d

Theres only a few types that reproduce in aquariums. I belive this type has a larvae stage that requires something our tanks dont have. Trocus snails will reproduce in our aquariums and a few others.
