Need better pics very hard to make out. Could it be snail eggs ?There are six of them and a neat little row on my glass they weren't there last night. Nothing new has been added to the tank in over 2 weeks. The only edition the tank is had has been "coraline algae in a bottle" being added
Also, I appreciate that you're worried, but this is not an emergency. That tag is for things like a fish that might die in the next few hours, a tank that's busted a seam, etc. Folks on here are very responsive and you will get quick replies for regular posts.There are six of them and a neat little row on my glass they weren't there last night.

We still don't know what exactly you're referring to in the photo...
I reposted the picture with circles
Not the little dot the big long white thing with the fork tailThese are pods, nothing to worry about...
No those are just salt spillIs it what I circled in red? As others have said, the pic is kind of out of focus, but at first glance that looks like when I drip water on the outside glass... not trying to be a smart (you know what), but could that be all it is?
Or are you asking about something else in the photo?
I posted a new picture for this I hope it helps identify it
Just for future reference, IME 99% of hitchhikers are manageable and 90% are harmless if not beneficial. I feel like some people in the hobby have demonized hitchhikers to the point where people new to the hobby think every hitchhiker is going to ruin their tank, and it’s just not the case. Personally, I recommend getting as fresh and alive live rock as you can, it one of the best things you can do for the health and longevity of your tank and will make it much, much more interesting (it becomes an ecosystem as opposed to a fish tank).
Are you sure those are not just sponges
I have no idea what those are. They don't match the description any of the fluke worms or flatworms. I can't really find any pictures of dititritis worms. They're not snail eggs so I don't know. there's only the six as far as I can tell
+1 to this, like said here if anything the biodiversity is beneficial to the system. Problems generally arise when you have too much of one organism over others. This can be said for everything in your tank, bacteria, pods, fish, algae, etc. I personally believe those who try to keep their tanks so sterile of hitchhikers and "pests" have tanks that are generally more susceptible to "tank crashes" and less resilient overall. They are likely harmless but if you are really keen on ID'ing them then you could try to remove them with some tweezers trying to keep them whole and then get a better photo of them in a smaller container with liquid or on a paper towel.
