Noticed these in a bunch of different patches along the back glass of my tank. They are in the middle of tracks through algae growth on the glass. As far as I can tell they showed up overnight last night. I assume they're eggs of some sort, but I was wondering if anyone knew what they were from.

What all do you have in the tank? Snail eggs are smaller and in strings like gathered up Christmas lights. Different patterns for different snails. It'll be food no mater what. Free yummies.

Those would be cerith snail eggs. Nerite eggs are individual domes about 1/8” wide.

Both of those are present, so totally plausible. I've also seen the tons of tiny eggs in curved strings on the glass in the past as well. Thanks
