Oh CRAP

Basically you have to remove them with some tools and keep checking/cleaning daily until all the eggs are hatched
Good luck !!

Some reading for you

I had a run in with these. Daily removal with tweezers and brush the shell with a toothbrush. Of coarse not over your tank

how long do you figure it took before you felt you were free of them?

Can you remove the clam? If so, dump it in a bucket of RO for 20 minutes.

Wait. That's for pinched mantle. But I suppose it might kill off some snails too.

Sheez Christy. Guess I had better check mine.

Easy peasy. Scrubbed off about 100-150 of the little buggers. No egg masses that I noticed but they got scrubbed off too and I went after the scutes with a little pick. Clam is clean for now and its business as usual in the tank. Guess I should feed the fish more, one of my tangs tried to take a chunk out of my arm

Now to attempt to do this every second night. Should be interesting...
