    I have about 50 of these on the glass. They don't seem to do much, but I'm at a loss for what they are.

    They kinda look like baby sand dollars.

    I do have nerites in the tank... hopefully it'll help keep the tank clean. How long until they're not stuck to the glass?

    They usually just dissolve in a couple days, or something else eats them.

    Nerite eggs and unfortunately they do not survive in our tank. They need tide pool environments to hatch.
