    Nerite eggs, most likely will not hatch unfortunately.

    2in10 nailed it. Nerite eggs and prob will not hatch. Even in the tidal zones of our oceans they don't have a very high hatch rate. They are more of an eyesore IMO.

    I agree on Nerite snail eggs. I have them all over the tank and they're considered free coral food when they brake down. Everything's better when is for free ;)

    True, depending on the amount I sometimes find these to be a little too many, but it really does not bother me as much as spiros, for example. I say leave them alone or wash the rock with a toothbrush if it bothers you a lot.

    i've had astrea snails hatch in my first tank. you could see the snails releasing the eggs/fertility juice(?) into the water column. and then soon after, i too had the little white calcareous circles on my tank glass. too cool, indeed.
