I noticed these white dots on my glass a couple days ago... I have a bad feeling they are eggs hatching nasty beasties into my tank. They appear to be releasing small brown something...

They definitely look like eggs and they also clearly seem to be hatching into these strands but what it is...? Almost seems like a coral or gorgonian, but then the picture isn't clear. Do they move around? Are they a bunch of fragments like it looks in the picture or do they have a definitive shape?
They look very worm like and the most common thing to be spawning out of sand like that would be bristleworms or fireworms maybe spaghetti worms. But yeah do you see them moving or have a better picture?
in my tank I’ve had same as first pic and I think they are pods that have died on the glass. Sometimes they get fuzzy just like yoursI noticed these white dots on my glass a couple days ago...

How about the string like stuff coming out of them? Fordtech's theory makes sense for sure, could be worms coming to savage the dead pods and you would be expecting more dying than spawning happening in the sand rn.
First pic I would call dead pods rotting on glass second pic I would agree with @vetteguy53081 with spirobid wormsThat is a good question. I don't know where the stringy stuff is going. I don't see any new growth that I would relate to those things. I suspect worms are the correct diagnosis, but what worms? Based on observation of my own tank, and what I saw today, I believe we can rule out spionid, but I'm not experienced enough to make that a definite conclusion.
