white specs on glass

[skae310]

I recently have gotten a bunch of white specs on my glass. They are very tiny and hard to get a picture of, but I will try to post one later. The only thing that I have even come across that are similar are Spirorbid worms (i think thats the name), however I have those as well in the tank so I dont think its those. Possibly related. I'm not sure, but the populations of both just sprouted recently. The specs seem to be a whitish clear color and towards the one end are yellow. They arent like spirals they are just one oval shape I have been scraping them off the glass and they are very hard. They haven't seem to like anything but the glass because thats the only place they appear. Any idea what they are?

This is the best I can do for a picture.

I was going to say pods but those almost look like snail eggs. Maybe someone else has a better guess.

Snail eggs looks more like it. I googled some pics and they seem to be similar. If they are snail eggs are there drawbacks to this?

What size are those for comparison?

 

[skae310]

They are very small. Its tough to compare them to anything. I will take a comparison pic if I can find anymore. I scraped most of them off.

This is the best i can get to describe how big they are. Its compared to a penny.

I think they are definently snail eggs. Better pics.

They will make great critter food.

i raise snails, def snail eggs

 

[skae310]

Are there any disadvantages to these?

 

[melosu58]

Should not be. As Scott said earlier they`ll end up being fish food. A few might make it.

Ive seen one small snail lately. I thought it might have been a hitch hiker of some sort, but maybe it is a result of the eggs...
