These are being laid as i write this. My glass pretty dirty do to vacation couldnt tell if this was my crown conch, tulip conch, or one of my many snails. Always a treat coming home to something new on the tank. I believe if i took better care of my tanks i may not have snail eggs all the time. Seems the dirtier (algea covered) the glass the more eggs. Well is it a conch or snail and what type........
Eggs being laid

Ive been lucky. I have snail eggs alot with baby snails hatching alot. if i had a snail for every egg id have problem. I enjoy the wait to see if there will be hatchlings. last year i had abt 100 crown conch's make it and there must have been thousands of eggs. I have lots of algea's grown in my tanks and lots of pods as well. for the most part the only glass i keep semi clean is the front. only do water changes twice a year but do keep close eye on levels rarely have anything to far out of balance. i do add supplements and dose with vodka and vinegar with overthecounter human vitamin c every three days even in my seahorse tank. well i hope the eggs hatch myself just wish i knew what the are and how long ill have to wait.

Here's a good article on whelks. I hate to say it, but the pictures of the snail laying eggs you took, and the ones in the article look very similiar.
