    my tank has been running for about 4 months now, and everything is running good. Just recently i notice alot of litto oval things that resemble a chicken egg sliced in half scattered all over the glass. It is not algae i know for sure..........what is it??

    Do you have any pictures? What kind of rock, Substrate, and Livestock do you have in your aquarium and is it salt or Freshwater.

    Based on that description I am with Craig.

    Limpet

    My usual answer would be feather dusters but not by that description.
