What's going to hatch from these?

Riddle of the day...

What laid these eggs overnight on the tank glass?





(The color in the background were two tangs swimming by to explore the photography... )

i found them in my tank one day too and was shocked. apparently the chances of them actually become snails is slim to none though. too many things working against them from what I read

Everytime I get snail eggs pods and things come around and scoop them up. It's a shame cause I could use some more snails. and it would be free.

I'm constantly seeing little micro snails all over the glass...if all of them survived they would become quite the pest lol. +1 on free snails though, can't complain about that!
