Seems I have some coralline algae on some live rock with what looks like eggs?

Check your Alk and Ca to be sure. Corraline can develop white spots when it first begins to bleach as well. I know they appear raised but if I look closely I can see some similar rounded, raised areas that are still purple.

I have only trocus and Stromb snails
They don't look anything like trochus or strombus snail eggs. Nerite was a good guess but if you don't have them and you didn't recently add this rock, then I wouldn't rule out the early stages of bleaching. Try seeing if you can scrape some off easily. That should tell you right there.
