What's the chance of these hatching?
There's a good string of them on the front glass and fish...ect seem to be avoiding them.

mostly it turns into coral food

Nothing wrong with good healthy coral food.
These eggs are pretty much glued onto the glass in a zig-zag.So unless something discovers them they wont become dislodged too easily.

Phear teh coral!
I've seen a few teeny-tiny white snails in my tank that I think are ceriths that have hatched- but I agree that the vast, vast majority seem to end up as coral or fish food... I've just recently tried moving a few strings of eggs to my fuge, so I'm hoping they'll survive down there.
Yea, I've had numerous occurences of this in both my DT and fuge --- often two or more snails laying at the same time. One just the other night. I've yet to see a baby cerith but I've never seen anyone eating them. They just seem to suddenly disappear. I know pods LOVE haning out around them.
