White spots on glass
I'll try to upload the picture. I assume they are some type of egg, but then I started to worry what if they aren't?
They are just individual little round spots on the glass in the areas my snails frequent most. Unlike most snail egg pictures I've seen, these are nowhere close to each other and so not in a cluster at all. A few seem to have "hatched" as well. They were there for a couple days or so and now the spot is degrading. Any ideas while I get the picture?

Unlikely. They are perfectly round and I have only CUC and cured liverock.
Here's a picture. I won't embed it as it is huge. http://i.imgur.com/ivAFlGB.jpg

Are they hard? If so I'm not sure exactly what they are but I get them all the time with no ill effects.

They come right off with my magfloat. So probably not hard.

What type of snails do you have? Any margaritas? I get those on my glass, too, and I'm sure they come from my margarita snails.

I do have 3 nerite.
Then I have nassarius, ceriths, plaxanis, and periwinkles. I'd actually prefer the nerite don't reproduce, so I'll scrape them off as I see them.

I didn't either, until tonight when I saw 2 that had apparently hitched a ride on my live rock.
