It is sponge. Typically harmless filter feeders. If it starts to over grow then a toothbrush will remove them easily.

It's a sign of a healthy tank IMO, biodiversity is growing.

Nerites lay copious eggs in tanks, but don't really breed in home systems.

Trochus and cerith can and do breed in home systems however. You won't really know about this until you see the miniature versions of them running about.

So what happens to all the eggs

Nothing. They just kinda stay there forever. Eventually the alkalinity drops enough they dissolve a bit. Scrape them off your glass, and on the rock coraline will eventually cover them up.

I don't like to scrub sponges as many species make potent toxins!

Just read the side effects of Halaven for example! (A powerful cancer drug made from sea sponges)
