Snail Has White Spots

Hello,

I recently noticed that my black nerite snail(correct me if that is the wrong snail type) has white spots on shell. Are they eggs or a bad thing in the tank?

This is in my 30 gallon tank with golden apple snails, rabbit snails, bristle nose plecos, JuliI cory catfish, and guppies.

Any help appreciated!

Likely eggs from other snails, hitched a ride for a portable nusery

Any idea which snail? The apple snails lay egg packets above water and the rabbit snail does live birth. So could it be the nerite eggs?

Looks like it, their eggs seem to be bright white and google shows a lot laid on the shells of snails

That's a perfect formation, couldn't have done better if you put them there yourself

Any advice on how to raise them since they require unique conditions

They do look like nerite eggs if so they won't come to anything as they need salt water to hatch and something I've never tried
