Hi All,

I have a 125 gallon tank and something showed up on the side of the tank this morning that I have never seen before. I was hoping someone here might be able to ID it for me. I'm not sure if it's eggs or some sort of worm. If it's eggs, they are all linked together. I got a few good pictures that I am attaching.

*The more I look at the pictures, the more it looks like it may be eggs of some type, does anyone know what they might be from?

Thanks,
John

Do you have any idea what kind of snail? I've had many snail eggs in my tanks in the past, but they have always looked like small white dots scattered about in a small area, these are linked together and bunched up into little spirals.

Thanks Again!!
