I just noticed all these lil white bubbles on the overflow and back glass. Thought they were maybe some kinda snail so I went to remove one for inspection and they are more like an egg sack attached or something.?. It tore and was soft.

oops.. nvm.. just learned how to read.. you said it was soft like an egg sack...

idk maybe some kind of snail egg?
 
Yea, its an egg of some kind. What ya got in the tank? Looks like some kind of Snail, but they usually lay em in a row.
 
There is an odd ball snail that came in a mix pack in there. One of the half shell looking type sumwhat resembling an abalone in shape sitting flat with the glass. I'll see if I can find him and get a pic (not a stomie tho)
 
They are nerite snail eggs
 
Cool. Thanks all. I'll look into that. Can always use more snails.
 
Yup quite a few of the images that came up matched. Its funny-peeps really dont like these it seems :) they do sit out like a sore thumb but aye its part of the process right.
thanks again folks.
 
Ohhhhh the irony :) now I see...theyre everywhere
