Yes, I have snails, all kinds, a CUC. So what should I do with them?
Harmless? Scrape them off and let them float to become fish food?

Ok, so should I leave them there or scrap and float them?
Also, the bubble algae around it, good/bad? How to deal with it?

Leave the eggs. Somebody will eat them off the glass or if they hatch nom nom nom on the newly hatched.
Bubble algae is something a mithrax will eat, but I just manually remove it myself.

+1 to cerith eggs. Unfortunately those (which I have) don't seem to be the ones that hatch. THere are some other cerith species that will successfully breed.

this is funny because I found these in my tank today. You saved me the trouble in figuring out what they were. I do have a few ceriths. They planted it right behind my heater.

I think they're "species #3" listed at the Project DIBS (now "reef stewardship foundation") website.

#3?

Anyone one have a picture of the ceriths? (lakshwa? I couldn't find it on there) Sorry to be a pest, this is one of those areas of aquaculture I have been toying with and would be interested in learning more about...
