Anacharis- questions about cleaning and snails/hitchhikers

[hb3133]

I recently bought some Anacharis from an Ebay auction. When they arrived, I carefully washed them off. Upon closer inspection, I notice some grey circular objects on a few leaves. I cannot say for sure what they were. Could these be snail eggs? Also, on some of the leaves, there was some brownish material, almost like a small insect. I am wondering if these are hitchhikers and if so, how do I treat the plants? So far, I have them in a seperate bucket until I find more information. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Two ways here....a bleach solution dip (3%-4% pure chlorine bleach in water for 5 minutes) or a potassium permaganate soloution dip should wipe out any hitchhikers.
