The inverts I got are cerith, nerites, nassarius, fancy nassarius

OK IT'S CONFIRMED
they are moving....I looked with the magnifying glass and they are little wiggly dots

[tangs rule]

Not a clue here - but when in doubt, throw em out! And hope they don't break out in a DT.

 

[meowzer]

I did ....LOL....No clue what they "were" BUT if they got into the dt...I am pretty sure they would not have lasted long LOL.....IN any of my tanks

I have never seen black snail eggs. Doesn't mean they don't come that color. They look like mosquito larva to me, but I wouldn't think they would be in saltwater.
Where is Cranberry when you need her? lol
