I think these are eggs

If you look behind the black plumbing, there are several white objects against the blue of the back of our tank. Do you think they're eggs and should I leave them or try to remove them. I'm inclined to leave them just to see what comes out unless someone says I'll be sorry that I did.

They're eggs of some sort of whelk, not something you really want in your tank.

Current Tank Info: tore them down to move and haven't had the time or money to set them back up

I have a few lettered olive snails. Maybe the eggs belong to one of them. Mostly they stay under the sand and these eggs are near the top of the tank but these snails are pretty big and I guess could have eggs this size.
