Is this eggs or sponges or? They don’t seem to be hatching for weeks, but I did see some areas in my overflow where I could see the outline and sack is gone so I’m wondering if those are hatched ones..

I thought they could be Limpet eggs because they started appearing around the same time as I bought 2 limpets that have bunch of babies now. They’re similarly shaped to a limpet shell sort of. Flat and oval, but when I looked up limpet eggs I didn’t find any that look like this.

I just noticed these in my tank as well two days ago. They are NOT sponges. I recently added a CUC (snails and hermits) and live rock which had several limpets. So I suspect these are either snail or limpet eggs, I am leaning towards the later. Now that being said I have also noticed two nudibranchs in the tank as well so maybe they are a suspect.
