I google searched this and couldn't find anything. Definitely doesnt look like their eggs.

I have 2 peppermint shrimp and a custom cleanup crew from reefkeepers.org

Anyone know what this is, should I be worried/remove snail immediately?

If your referring to those whitish grey spots on the Cerith snail they kind of looks like Nerite snail eggs.

Kinda, that's what I originally thought. But upon further review they weren't really definitive plus the plaques keep increasing in number despite the snail moving around. Wondering if my tank has the plague and i'm screwed.

If you want to get rid of them just put the snail in a small bowl of water and use a stiff brush to remove them. If they don't come off easily, try using a wire brush the next time. GL.

THanks, apparently they are nerith eggs, although completely different than any i saw online. Oh well, thanks for the responses, you were right!
