Are they spiraled in shape?

They are looking like flat slightly bulgy. I am having snails in my tank are they eggs of the snail. But I think they are not coralline algae. My tank is only 8 months old.

Bottom is flat and they exactly like and half cut biopellets and less bulgy on top.

Yes they will lay eggs. My nerites do all the time. I've never seen any successfully hatch though.

 

[Ponraj A]

I hope some will hatch atleast.
@Mike N thanks for you time and advise.

 

[Mike N]

Glad to help.

Have you felt one? Are they hard or soft?

@Mike N
Yesterday i viewed some with magnifying glass and they look exactly like "Spirorbid worms". I googled for it and it mentioned as harmless, I think I will leave it as it's and have a close watch.

Hi @jenkinscrew2578
Thanks for your time and response. I think I got it and id as "Spirorbid worms"

Could also be calcium deposits, I think, if they are hard. Usually they end up in the overflow area.

If they are those worms, you could use a dewormer to get rid of them.
