What type of Nassarius snail do you have? Picture? The most common ones in the hobby will breed and lay eggs, but the hatched larvae rarely survive.

There are a couple of much less common Nassarius that appear to breed and lay eggs that develop directly into crawling juveniles. Their survival is supposed to be much higher. I have one of these species in my tank but have not found a single baby yet.

Hermit crabs and other crabs and shrimp are the usual predators of baby snails.
