Unknown eggs

I was swapping out a frag rack in my tank and noticed these eggs in several places. What are they?

Possible nudibranch eggs. Check tank for nudibranchs

What snails do you currently have?

 

[minus9]

Nudibrachs usually have "pleated" or wavey egg masses and are more solid looking, not so transparent. The egg mass pictured seems like snail eggs to me, but it could be an unwanted guest?

Dove snails, maybe

Thanks for the replies.
The only occupants that I know of are a clownfish, various snails(dwarf ceriths, dwarf planaxis) 2 lettuce nudibranchs, a few limpets and some bristle worms.

@KJ Any ideas?

Look like columbellid sp. eggs.

Look like columbellid sp. eggs.

No columbellids in the tank, but they do look similar for sure.

Here are some pics taken today of freshly laid eggs on the glass of the same tank.
Look very similar to the columbellid eggs, but it's a small tank and I know there isn't any columbellid snails in there.
Are there other snail eggs that look very similar?

Note how the inner part of the eggs look very different than the OP picture.
I don't know if they're the same or not...

Nassarius eggs.

Nassarius eggs.

Yep, thanks.
Is it normal for them to be spread out like that?
When I searched Nassarius eggs, I saw pictures of large strands of eggs and figured it couldn't be that..
