Hey everyone, happy Saturday.

As I was looking at my tank, I noticed these. (In the center of the picture)

All I have that I added to the tank, are 2 fish, a cleaner shrimp, some hermits, and obviously coral.

I believe whatever laid them came as a hitchhiker, and the only snails that I am aware of having in my tank are these:

I believe they are red-banded trochus...?

Anyways, anyone know what these eggs are? Thanks in advance!

Edit: I just wanted to add that they move in the current, and almost look to be in some sort of jelly substance.

need white light pic
The lights are off now, and my phone is for some reason saying that my battery is too low to turn on the flashlight, even though it's at 10%, so I will get the pic when lights come on tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

The eggs were completely gone this morning, and on top of that my lights broke as well, so I guess this will be unresolved. Let's hope it wasn't anything bad.
I'm sure it was just snail eggs -- you're going to see a lot of that, especially with nerites and ceriths, but others as well.

Sorry about the lights :(

Thanks. Luckily they were cheap 60 dollar lights.

I was in the process of upgrading them, so I have an AI prime, but with no way to mount it at the moment.
