    small--about the 1/8"-3/16" across and flat. Like tiny sand dollars...

    Nerite snail eggs, although that seems some what large for them.

    slightly fuzzy picture so hard to make a positive ID.

    If they do not move they kinda look like sponges in the pic.

    There are so many species that inhabit our tanks which are commonly found.

    not sure if they move or not...they weren't there last night and they were this morning. I haven't been able to observe them long enough to tell.

    I agree Nerite snail eggs. If you have large Nerites they will lay eggs that are that sized. Small ones lay smaller ones IME.

    Parameter/stress can cause them to lay eggs. It has happened every time I have ordered them.
