    At first I thought uh oh, some kind of flatworm. But now I think maybe they're eggs of some kind. They can't be moved. They have a fairly hard "shell", and some sort of liquid squirts out if you press on the shell hard enough to break it.

    I await a response with bated breath. I've never seen this, personally.

    It's even cooler when they are on your glass when they lay eggs Vs your rocks. They leave this squiggley back and forth line of eggs.

    Here is a good article to look at!
    Aquarium Invertebrates

    I have these capsules in all my tanks. Most of the time they are on the rocks but I have had them on my glass and it is cool! They put the eggs in a really cool pattern!

    When I first noticed them, I was scared. My clams were not opening up and I noticed some of these on and near my clams. I immediately thought I had pyramid snails! Come to find out it was just my fish eating my clams!
