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.


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.

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