White stuff floating in tank

[pikachux3]

Just witnessed my snail release a crap ton of white dots. I googled what this was and it appears to be snail babies or eggs/sperm. My clown fish is having a great time right now chomping them up.. Anyone have similar experience and did these white dots survive to become adult snails?

I wrote a post about a week ago with a pic of my snail doing something similar. All my eggs where on the glass. A lot of people say that the eggs get eaten but I have noticed a lot of new snails growing in my tank I'm guessing its hit and mis with the snails hatching and making it depending on the fish in your tank.

Ooh nice, I'm starting to see less white dots.. I think its being sucked into my filter, hopefully they survive in the refugium.

my pyramid snails recently started doing that too. soon you will have hundreds of baby snails. ive had them spawn 2 - 3 times already. do that do this during certain seasons? because i dont see it happening year round.

Maybe summer time? Hah

i have literally hundreds (mid to high) of tiny snails -- about the size of a nerd (the candy). It's cool watching them grow up. Have some juniors -- about the size of a skittle -- now too. I can't be sure they are all the same species, but from the junior ones, they are nassarius.

Cleaner shrimp likes to eat them though. I had a TON of stomatella snails too, but shrimp seems to have wiped them out as I don't see them anymore
