Nerite Eggs!

[drwonga]

It appears that my nerites (or possibly turbos) spawned, and now I have string after string of eggs. Any idea how to hatch them and raise them?

Turbo snails release their eggs directly into the water column. I'm not sure what nerite eggs look like, I'm thinking round individual eggs. Do you have cerith snails? They lay strings of eggs. It is difficult to culture most snails because they have free-swimming larvae which must be fed cultured phytoplankton before settling down as tiny snails.

They could be nassarius snails eggs. I need a pic though.

I have Cerith snails as well, and the eggs are in a string, very adhesive, stuck to the glass, corals, etc. I've moved some to a little holding tank. I might stick in an airstone to provide some water motion. Any idea how to get cultured phytoplankton?
