White circle dots on the back of my fish tank

[Freshermenreefer]

So I just realized I have some white circle dots on the back of my glass and I don't know what it is i dont know how long it been there don't really pay attention to the back of my glass and plus I'm changing my tank run so I made changes but that was awhile ago and it was no white circle things on the glass before just realize they look just like the white things on the snail that i ordered are they good or bad and what are they

Super hard to tell from the pictures…only think i can think of at the moment is possibly Ich. You said they were on a snail? From a fish store? Was the snail in a quarantine tank first? Could be snail eggs depending on the snail or hydroids
? Do they appear to have a sack ?

Hmm I think Ich is the lease likely issue. I think they could be eggs of some sort. I can only assume it’s best to remove them (scrape with a credit card and remove from tank) if possible. Hopefully someone else can be more help

If they're little tiny spirals (like itty bitty snails), they may be Spirorbid Worms.
Whether you consider them good or bad, I don't know, but I've had them come in with inverts (snails, I think), the populations grows and then shrinks as they find an equilibrium. IIRC, they're filter feeders, so as long as they're not entirely out of control and causing problems (jamming powerheads or getting unsightly*), it's probably nothing to lose sleep over...assuming that's what they are.

*Some people end up with **thousands** of them, with every surface absolutely covered.

Could be calcium precipitate. Are they hard and crusty? Check your magnesium.

It's hard to tell from your photos... Do they look like this? From what I can determine these are Nassarius snail eggs.

"the Nassarius seem to deposit their eggs on the nearest vertical or near vertical surface. This nearby surface is often the aquarium wall, but it may also be a rock, or another snail."
