I've recently noticed some white bumps along the seals in my tank. I managed to scrape one off and took the picture below using my microscope. Any ideas? @Lionfish Lair

I have a typical collection of snails, one chiton, a couple of brittle stars and one skunk cleaner shrimp (plus some sexy shrimp but this is too big for those). Size is about 3 - 3.5 mm.

Thanks!

Yes, I do. I googled the eggs, looks like I'm gonna have more nerites soon. Wow, you are really good at this. Thanks!
 
No, the eggs don't actually grow to be adult snails in our tank environment, so they'll be food for your tank.
