Proper disposal of nerite eggs?

[KFav93]

I have a 20 gallon with 2 zebra snails and the nerite eggs are appearing everywhere. I really don't want them to take over. They won't hatch right? How should I get rid of the eggs?

They won't hatch. I believe you need to scrape them off, if possible. That is the main reason I've held off getting these despite their appetite for algae.

Won't hatch. Think of it as snail graffiti. You been tagged.

Omg yes, they keep my pieces free of algae. They're crazy with it. Do you know if it stops ever?

What's safe to scrape it with?

I've never tried to remove them. I don't mind how they look.

And the nerites inherited the earth...

I had a nerite recently. I had done research and knew about the egg thing, but my problem was poop! That snail pooped sooooo much! I've never seen anything like it. I was vacuuming like 3 times a week and still couldn't keep up!

My mysteries eat them. On glass, you can use razors.
