that's a bit of a tough one, they could also quite easily belong to an invertebrate. Are you seeing them in the Med or in the Atlantic ?

I don't know what size we're talking here, neither do I know southern fauna that well, but normally with strings of eggs I'm expecting to find a nudibranch or some sort of snail nearby...

that would have been my first instinct, but nudibranchs seem to take a bit more precision with their ovipositioning (egg-laying), still when I've got a minute that's where I'll look first

Finding this on the Atlantic, water is 15-17c at the moment. The size is literally Spaghetti sized. Upon close inspection it seems like each strand is two eggs width. Couldn't be nudibranch, well it would have to be a very large nudibranch!
What are starfish eggs like?

Starfish and other echinoderms spawn their eggs and sperm into the water column and so don't lay eggs as in this case

From a large mollusc, perhaps?

It could be from a Molusv such as these snails which I find locally. I don't know how acrobatic the snail are but I find the eggs on vertical positions by kelp or rocks.
