Found these overnight in the corner of my tank. I have a CuC consisting of various snails, 2 cleaner shrimp, 2 clownfish and some cardinals. Pattern reminds me of a snail cleaning route but can't be sure/unclear what to do with them.

Thanks!

Snail eggs. Not sure what kind. You can scrape them off if they bother you or leave them be and the other tank inhabitants will snack on them. Trochus and dove snails are known to have viable offspring in a tank.

Trochus snails. Get ready to have a million in your tank.

I would scrape them. Once they hatch they can get on everything. Including corals at night.

That's good to know, thank you. Is this an indication my tank is doing well? Had some challenges getting this first one setup and any news is good news at this point!

Well enough for them to get frisky. Low bar, yes, but stay positive!

I have a BUNCH of baby Turbo Snails. I think they are fantastic because they can get into areas the adults can't. They are likely an excellent food source for something in my tank as well, because they only get so big. They keep reproducing though.
