I know some Nerite species' eggs can get up 4.5mm in diameter, so the size isn't terribly odd. I'm assuming based on the photos that these are Nerite snail eggs, but to be sure - what snails do you have in your tank?

very similar to nerite- these are astrea snail eggs and dont expect much if any survivors. These often become caviar for fish and require cool water for hatch
