    They are to small to get a picture of, I tried. I have these little round white dots spreading all over my tank, any idea what it could be?

    pods are a good thing, and I guess snail eggs are as well. So either way I should not be concerned about them?

    Check out here http://www.3reef.com/forums/id/common-ids-43555.html . Or the other "sticky" topics on the ID forum. Don't know what kind of snail you got there tundra but I'm sure someone else does. If your white dots move and lengthen out when they do they a likely flatworms of some kind. Check the worm sticky.

    Lucky13 if yours don't move I have spirobid worms in my tank and they are harmless filter feeders. A magnifying glass would help you see if they are spiral in shape or not. Again, read thru the sticky's they will probably help!
