Do you have a nerite?

 

[Austin.b]

Yeah, a horned nerite, MTS, and some ramshorn

They are eggs from your nerite snails. I have the same thing with my tank. The eggs won't hatch and they won't harm anything. They will eventually fall off/ get eaten by a fish.

Yup, nerite eggs were my first guess.

I only have one nerite though, and they move.....

I only have 2 nerite snails and they manage to get eggs all over my 90 gallon tank. Do you mean the eggs move or the snails move?

I only have one horned nerite though. Sorry lol my last post was confusing, the white specs move.

Yeah, they move very very slowly. That's ok! Thank you for all your help!!
