ID of hard white dots on my DT glass please

They are hard and about the size of a pencil point and do not come off with my algae scrubber.

Have any pics? Could be snail eggs but those usually scrape off.

I do but very crappy internet here and it won't upload. I haven't tried "scraping" just my usual algae sponge does not remove them.

I will try and upload a pic asap.

Could either be nerite snail eggs or spirorbid worms. Both harmless.

I have them too, they haven't caused any harm they come and go, tiny little spirals that are white, I thought they were a very small snail
