    I noticed these little white spots all over my rock this morning, they are really smooth looking, i havent touched them in case they really are eggs and didnt want to disturbed them.

    Yup! They are nerite snail eggs. Don't worry, just more free snails!

    Bad news on the free snails part, they almost never seem to hatch in our tanks. Definitely nerite snail eggs.
