I have these little white spots, what might be worms all over my rocks in my main tank. They are small, white, and "C"shaped, maybe 1/8''

This morning I found a much larger one on the tank wall, about 3 inches long.
I couldnt get a good picture so I drew this on paint. Sorry for the poor quality.

Any idea what it is? how do I treat it?

Does it look like this? If it does is they are cerith snail eggs. They are a good thing.

yeah thats it.

But that many eggs? they are all over the rocks... I dont want hundreds of snails in my tank

Out of all the eggs I had, I ended up with zero new snails....Between the water flow, the fish and the cleaner snails they where wiped out in about 72 hrs. Was kind of a bummer.....would have liked a few to have at least made it.

ok well hopefully they will rid themselves. I dont have any fish in there right now, and only a few snails and crabs.

If they do reproduce and you get a lot, trade them into a lfs for credit...

A good lfs will trade with you... At least mine does...

yeah mine does too.

Hey Nereaga those are the spots I PM'd you about. Now I know what they are, thanks.
