While feeding the fish I noticed these objects. The wife said she noticed them this morning. They look like miniature chicken eggs cooked sunny side up. They are only circling the one MP60. I don't see them any where else. Any ideas on what they may be?

Thanks. I actually just add some more snails to my tank 2 weeks ago and Nerites where some of them. Wow, they lay some pretty big eggs.
Ya, and they're a pain to scrape off too.

They'll fall off on their own eventually.

Great pictures. I would not remove if you want a free clean up crew in regards to snails.
snails in all varieties lay eggs constantly but very few grow and survive.
These will benefit your aquarium forever if you want to keep them

I plan on leaving them to see if the hatch. I have plenty of room for them in my 84x30x24 tank.

They have multiplied in my tank but it wasn't an explosion like the Trochus snails. Most either didn't hatch or fell prey to something, dunno. But over time they have multiplied because I only bought 5 and now I have about 15 over the course of a year.
