White spots?

[saltybench]

I just noticed white spots on the rock and snail right by the rock? I’m assuming some type of egg but i don’t really know? It’s just in that spot i haven’t seen it anywhere else in the tank.

Possibly spirorbid worms. If so, they're harmless.

Do you have any Nerite snails? They could be Nerite eggs. The eggs of most other commonly available snails are surrounded by a clear jelly. Keep an eye on them and see if they move. There are some rather rare flatworms with a round shape. If there's only a few, I'd probably just remove them to be safe.

I have a bunch of them actually, they don’t seem to come off so easily, i tried to get one off the shell of the snail. This tank has been up for 7 months now I’ve never seen them before this point

Are they hard to the touch?

They’re so small it’s kind of hard to tell, they’re not squishy but not like calcified if that makes sense

Hmm, and you said they don't come off very easy. Snail eggs should be very easy to remove. I wonder if they could be a type of benthic formaniferan. If so they're harmless filter feeders. It's hard to tell from the pics. They're so small.

I tried to get the best picture i could of one up close, idk if it’ll help

I agree looks, and sounds like nerite snail eggs.
