over the last day or so I've noticed some really small spots on the glass of the tank.....when i look at them from the side of the tank, they seem to be small "pods" hanging off the glass {bout the size of a strawberry seed} ........they are all in lines and are in the area that my Nasarius snails climb up the glass....they are all about 1 inch apart maybe 50-60 spots in all


Are these snail eggs...or some form of snail spawning?

I don't want to clean the glass until i know what im dealing with ...

i don't know if they're hard or soft...they started out white like MAK said but now their kinda brownish with a white center...so foar they are only on the front glass...right where the snails climb up in the filter return current...Boss
