Cerith Eggs, how do I get them to hatch?

[Zumkin]

A few weeks ago my Cerith snails laid lines of eggs all over my tank. I read on other threads that they should take about 4 days to hatch. 4 days came and went and nothing. After a week and a half I scraped what little remained of them off the glass. Well, they are laying eggs again and I was wondering if there is anything I can do differently this time? I'd love to see some baby snails.

I dont think that cerith eggs will hatch in an aquarium. I know mine lay eggs a lot, but they dont hatch. My strombus lay eggs, hatch and I have a bunch of baby snails, but Ive read that ceriths are very very difficult to get to breed successfully.
of course I could be totally wrong

I do nothing I've had tons of them reproduce in my shop system and plenty of customers with the same.

I did notice a drop-off of visible tiny snails when I had a six-lined wrasse in the system for a few months - I expect he was eating either the eggs or the hatchlings. Move the wrasse back into my reef tank and lo and behold I've seen a few small ceriths... so we'll see if there's another population explosion
