So I noticed this down in my sump today. Is it snail eggs?

Yeah that's all I have in my sump. Will they hatch?

There is a good chance most wont even make it to hatching, and even lesser chance they survive for long after hatch... But with them being in the sump you have better odds(over DT) that some will survive to keep your Cerith population steady, which is not a bad deal at all ;)

I have hundreds of small trochus and cerith snails in my tank. At night my front glass has them all over it. They reproduce regularly but never seem to gain any size.
