Hi all,

For a week now, I've had these 4-5 white "dots" on my glass. They don't move, and don't have any spiral shape. Size wise, can't explain how big they are other than comparing maybe to the size of a dart fish eye? I think they may be snail eggs, or baby snails?

Tried taking pics, hard to focus but to follow...

Do you have snails? Looks like eggs, though they are usually more bunched.
I see the nerites now, those are definitely nerite eggs. Not a problem, some fish eat them, sometimes they grow, but usually they just stick there for a while.

Yup, I figured they are snail eggs as well, I have a mix of them (nerites, astraeas, ceriths, etc...) The "specs" just stuck around immobile, and I think a few may have been eaten as I saw only an outline remaining on a few. I figured they are harmless and would eventually disappear or turn into fodder.
