Hi all,

For a week now, I've had these 4-5 white "dots" on my glass. They don't move, and don't have any spiral shape. Size wise, can't explain how big they are other than comparing maybe to the size of a dart fish eye? I think they may be snail eggs, or baby snails?

Tried taking pics, hard to focus but to follow...

Did you find an answer? I have the same.
 
Do you have snails? Looks like eggs, though they are usually more bunched.
I see the nerites now, those are definitely nerite eggs. Not a problem, some fish eat them, sometimes they grow, but usually they just stick there for a while.
 
Yup, I figured they are snail eggs as well, I have a mix of them (nerites, astraeas, ceriths, etc...) The "specs" just stuck around immobile, and I think a few may have been eaten as I saw only an outline remaining on a few. I figured they are harmless and would eventually disappear or turn into fodder.
