Please ID these eggs

Just found them on my tank glass. They were not there last night. Almost look like little flowers. What are they from??

Thanks

Do you have Cerith snails? I have them in my tank and find them leaving similar strings on the glass all the time.

I am by no means sure on this though.

Snails eggs!

i dont think they are cerith eggs what other snails do you have?

 

[raynist]

Astrea, Nassarius, queen conch, turbo

 

[Paintbug]

of those i would say the eggs came from the queen conch. cerith eggs are more like a curvy road, nassarius eggs are in pouches, and im pretty sure the turbos, and astrea eggs are in pouches as well.

My Ceriths are hanging around on the bottom where they like to lay their egg masses now. If they lay some eggs tonight, I'll try to get a pick for comparisons. I have Nerites, Ceriths and Turbos in my tank. Nerites leave little almond shaped eggs all over EVERYTHING. I've seen the Turbos releasing a milky substance, but never any eggs.
