    I noticed these a few weeks ago. They were just on the side of my overflow box and a few of my corals. Overnight they've developed on my green bubble coral.

    I agree with above ^^^ Definantly Nerite snail eggs. I have them all over my rocks and back glass as well. Nothing to worry about. They very rarely hatch in captivity....they're just a little unsightly.

    Thanks everyone. I think everyone got it right. Thanks for referring me to that site yamaharider73. There was a picture of Nerite snail eggs and based on the picture, definitely Nerite eggs. Thanks again everyone.
