Eggs on coraline algae?

[Raideress]

Seems I have some coralline algae on some live rock with what looks like eggs?

Looks like nerite snail eggs

Or maybe it’s that somewhat uncommon lumpy Coralline texture:

Can you scrape them off?

Check your Alk and Ca to be sure. Corraline can develop white spots when it first begins to bleach as well. I know they appear raised but if I look closely I can see some similar rounded, raised areas that are still purple.

They don't look anything like trochus or strombus snail eggs. Nerite was a good guess but if you don't have them and you didn't recently add this rock, then I wouldn't rule out the early stages of bleaching. Try seeing if you can scrape some off easily. That should tell you right there.
