Anyone else seem to be a breading ground for snails?

Just curious to see if I am a selected few. I get these little snails everywhere. The are taking over it seems like. I scrape the eggs off the glass, but It seems like I can't get rid of them. My tank is no where near as bad as my brothers. His tank has a good few hundred little snails. They get into everything, skimmers, pumps bio balls everything.
They are thin pointed shells and produce a clear round bunch of eggs.
Are they going to be the end of my reef?

Spotted Conch aka Strombus maculatus aka Strombus Grazers.. They are great snails to have. I wouldn't mind trading you for some. I think mine could use some genetic diversity.

I tell you what. At the moment my brother is in California. When he gets back. I'll see how many I can get out of his tank. Like I said befor he has a few hundred easily. But they are so small and the tank is built in the wall so it is a PITA to get them out. I'll see how many I can gather up. I'll transfer them to my small hospital tank. Make sure they are fine for a few days. Then I'll contact you Bang,richfish,and capschamp. I'll divide them up and see how much the shipping will be to you. How in the world will that work anyway. Especially now that it is getting a little cold here. I live on the East Coast.
