what the heck is this?!

[Tarabelle]

I’m always smearing something new and well I have no clue what they are because I’ve only been an aquarium mother since Feb.

Can anyone identify what the heck this thing is on the glass? Should I leave it in there? Take it out?

Do you have snails? Pretty sure it’s snail eggs.

So I can leave it. Ugh makes me itch to look at

Yes, you can leave it. Likely will be eaten I’m sure.

Just be glad it isn't one of the harmful things, hopefully you don't encounter coral eating sea spiders or euphyllia eating flatworms

I just scrape them off when I clean glass

I used to get this all the time and wondered the same thing. Lol
Like everyone is posting above it’s just snail eggs and nothing to worry about. Hopefully these comments to your post help.

Absolutely leave it.
This just came out of one of my tanks. And it is only from under one pile of rocks :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
