Help me ID these eggs

Hello everyone:

I have found a group of eggs that are on the glass under the return of my skimmer. They are pinhead size and are zig-zaged in lines on the glass. I cant get a pic but have made a drawing in paint to represent the way they are positioned on the glass. I have a very healthy tank with lots of life in it. I have snails, conches, nudibranches, dusters, probably 5 species of crabs, 3 kinds of star fish. What layed the eggs. They are translucent grey and uniform in the way they are layed on the glass.

Heres a drawing of the egg group so you can see how they are arranged.

I would say by the arrangement that they are Cerith snail eggs

That looks very close but the eggs on my glass. The stripes are about 1/2 inch wide. Perhaps just a big snail or mabey another kind of snail?

Thanks for the pic.
