I found this on the side of my canna pot. There was also another piece floating in the
water, while I was cleaning. I went through the pond and took the filter out, cleaned it
out, including cleaning the goop out of the pump, moved all the plants, skimmed the
floating debris, and while I was doing this, noticed this stuff on the canna pot, which is
partially submerged in the pond, but this was on the pot where it would be above the water
line.

It is somewhat firm, but not real hard, floats (the other piece did) and appears to be
composed of a bunch of tiny 'cells'. It is approximately 1.5 - 2" long. Are these some
kind of egg? If so, of what?

Any help is appreciated.

TIA,
DeAnna

WOW! Those snails (mystery snails) went right to work!!!

I think I have only had them for about a week! LOL

Well, if isn't something harmful, I guess I will leave them there.

Thank you so much for the quick response!!!

DeAnna...that is a...a...uh...I don't know what you call it, but it contains
snail eggs. If you look closely it is actually a bit like a honeycomb with
the snail eggs each in their own little cavity. Once the eggs hatch you'll
have an empty case that just kind of floats around.

Thanks, BV!

I only wanted FOUR snails... lol.

I guess I shoulda had them sexed before releasing them into my garden of fertility. I have
been blessed with copious amounts of life this year. The trapdoor snails went crazy over
the winter, and it appears are STILL producing. Now it is the mystery snails....I wanted
snails big enough that Callie the water pig wouldn't eat them. (This koi eats an AMAZING
amount of food!). I never see any trapdoor snails in the lower pond, so I am *assuming*
that s/he is eating any that happen to wander in. Hence the BIG snails... lol.

If the toads and frogs are as prolific, we may have a crowded pond by next year!

Hi,
Apple snails, you can check out these plant eaters here.

HTH -_- how

Mystery snails lay the same type of egg case as Apple snails, but they are
two different snail types. ~ jan
