    I just got part of my reefcleaners order in yesterday and got all of the snails in last night. This morning, I looked in my tank and noticed two areas that have several white spots on the rocks. They're pretty hard and stuck on the rocks. This is the first time I've ever noticed anything like them in my tank. Any ideas as to what they are, snail eggs maybe? Here are some pics.

    Yes, they're snail eggs. Maybe someone can tell you specifically which snail, but I can't. Wow, they didn't waste any time, did they? :)

    I'm going to guess Nerite. The nerites were all massed together in a ball when they came in and the spots are were they went in the tank.
