What is this?

white, slimy, very sticky and resistant to being pulled of the glass. There are 4-5 of these that have now appeared in my tank. They are kinda creepy! What are they and what do I do about them?? Hope the pic is good enough.

Thanks so much.

Hi Stacey

It is a little foggy but I think Gary has it right.

Of course, Gary may be hiding something.

Here is a better picture. Thanks for the info. I would never have guessed that. Let me know if you think it is anything else but the eggs.

Will they be able to make it or do they get eaten by other things in the tank?

cerith eggs for sure! chances of survival are slim. most will be skimmed out, the rest usually get eaten. but you may have a few make it.
