Does anyone know if these are eggs and if so what kind? In the tank there is a coral banded shrimp, pair of clownfish, pajama cardinal and flame hawkfish. A few trochus and astrea snails but that’s it.
Some types of eggs?

Really hard to tell from the picture. Google "Pineapple Sponge" and see if that's what you have?
It maybe eggs of the Strombus maculatus pictured below. Not my picture but from CoralEverAfter.org. This snail (likely is not Strombus maculatus) but I don't know the Scientific name for them so I also insert the picture of them here. Geral at Indo Pacific Sea Farm called them S. maculatus. They are only about 1/4 inch in length full grown.
The bubbles that have white eggs in them stay whole. Once the little snail hatch, they cut through the bubble and craw out leaving the hole. Look and see if you have these snails in your tank. Rarely, they can crawl into your pumps and cause problem.

Looks like it and from what you’re saying about what happens when they hatch is what it also looks like. It’s for my moms tank so I will take a look next time I’m there for those snails. Sounds like they are nothing to worry about correct?It maybe eggs of the Strombus maculatus pictured below. Not my picture but from CoralEverAfter.org.

They are great grazer and will reproduce in your tank. You often see the eggs on the glass and other surfaces. The egg bubbles are about 1/8 inch
Yeah, they're actually Dove Snail (taxonomic family Columbellidae) eggs:It maybe eggs of the Strombus maculatus pictured below. Not my picture but from CoralEverAfter.org.

This link has some great pics/video of the eggs (including a timelapse):

Just thought I'd share (pics taken over two days): I believe they are Strombus Eggs (Strombus maculatus).
