I think they're the eggs of rough keyhole limpets?

@ewrunn1ng Have you ever seen something like this? Not sure if that slime/ mucus is related to the two Nucella mating, or if they normally produce slime. Also, thanks for the lightening fast IDs tonight!

This large (between 2- 3" long) shell was lying on the moss by the trail, over half a mile from the beach. Maybe a Wrinkled Amphissa or Frilled Dogwinkle? Did a predator or person drop it there?

It had a spot on its shell that looked like an eye, looked a bit like a squid at first

This is a moonsnail, also known as Drake's moonsnail. It can be found on page 235, MC. 226, of the book Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest - Lamb and Hanby. My justification for this ID is the size, shape and coloration, which is different from Euspira lewisii. The black tip of the shell is one clue. Shell is 3cm long, the foot is carmal colored. The uncertainty lies in Drake's Moonsnail is usually found in deeper waters.

In a small pool of water by the shoreline at low tide. Tiny, very active with a long syphon. The last photo shows at least three individuals.

So much life in this photo (muscles, acorn barnacles, leaf barnacle, limpet, sea lettuce) but I'm looking at the snail. It's pretty small, only about 1.5 cm long. Anyone recognize it? Bonanza Beach, Graham Island, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada.

Maybe? Looking at the pink shell, not the Nucella eggs

Unusual seven-armed individual! I've seen some with six, but this is the first with seven I've ever found.

Purple Ribbon worm observed in the process of swallowing a Nereid polychaete. Fourth photo shows the ribbon worm everting its proboscis and injecting the prey with a toxin.

AI is saying this is a tanager, although it seems very late in the year for one to be this far north.
