Today's WTF moment...

I've got a varied CUC with various types of snail and a few red legged hermits. Are those snail eggs on this hermit's shell? Initially I was concerned for some king of parasite or disease, but these things are spaced, are very symmetrical, and seem to have a bit of substance to them.

They're nowhere else in the tank, just on this guy's shell.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

Mark

Looks like a nerite snail decided to have fun with your hermit.

That's just wrong...lol

Lol yeah that's what it looks like to me too. They look identical to snail eggs and I don't know what else it would be.

Snail eggs is a possibility, but it could simply just be some coralline algae. A lot of my snails have purple spots all over them.
