Can I add Alkalinity/Calcium powder directly to the tank? - Page 2

Those look like snails eggs, or some sort of egg mass, in my opinion, but they might also be some sort of sponge or other organism.

Weird, I never saw they ago, just after adding calcium/alkalinity, the weird thing is that if those ones are snail eggs why my mandarin and my lanwmover blennie doesn't seems to be interested in them.

My fish never ate snail eggs, either, although I had goby fishes, royal gramma, and clown fishes. Some ion in the supplement might be inducing stress, but I agree that the timing is strange. I can't be sure about the id, either. The shadow and structure I see might be false detail from the camera.

Can't tell what they are . They just look like newly forming coraline to me but it's hard to say without actually seeing them live and experiencing the removal first hand.
