The tronchus snails breeds by releasing gamettes into to water column... you will soon see little larvae or baby's in your tank... it's reproducing.

I can't find any where that the gamettes are harmful to water quality.... some one else may no better then I do and chime in here... but my way of thinking that if your worried go to the side of caution and do a water water change.

Stick with the plan outlined by Nathan and give it some time to clear naturally
If you are concerned, you can add some filter floss to catch the spawn
On a small gallon tank like yours, you can actually strip out the nutrients with too many large volume water changes
