Question Are these snail eggs?

Hey guys, I just got a cuc and one of the snails put this stuff on my glass.
Are these the snails eggs or what?

And if they are eggs, what should I do with them?

I have both but I believe they are nassarius snails.


Should I leave them in or take them out?

Most likely Nassarius mine lay eggs all the time. Just leave them alone and watch the babies grow if the fish don't eat them.
