white dots = snail eggs??

[raza]

today i got fish after 1 month of my tank cycleing and i saw these little white dots, 4 of them on opposite sides of my tank they look to be curled up and one has these little feather type hairs on it (i think brine shrimp that i feed my anemone got stuck to it) i took a few pics but i cant seem to get the details of the insides

the last one is just to show how small they are

these are all on the glass and currently i have 3 turbo snails, 3 electric blue crabs and 1 bubble tip anemone





if there not snail eggs what should i do about them and are they a threat to my clown fish which i just bought today?

Snail eggs.

Not a pro on this but it could be feather worms I have a lot of those in my tank. There tiny and white and if you look close you could see the lil feather going in and out.

I actually saw my snail depositing these onto the glass.

"look to be curled up and one has these little feather type hairs on it" This is the dead giveaway. Spiroid worms. Harmless little filter feeders that pop up seemingly out of nowhere. They were one of the first things to appear in my tank when new. Google Spiroid worms and you'll find close up shots to verify the ID.

yup thats what they look like "spiroid worms" what should i do about them will they just go away or do i have to force them out?

Do about them? If they bother you, scrape them off with a razor blade. I only do this on the front of the tank. I let them grow pretty much anywhere else they want. They're harmless, and I find the microfauna just as interesting as the fish and inverts we pay money for.
