ID Please???

There are white spots appearing on the side and back of my tank. But only sides where there is Algae growing. Could they be snail eggs? And how long does it take them to hatch?

look up either colonista snails or spirbolids
that pic's a little fuzzy to see, but most likely it's not eggs.
try taking the pic without zooming in, and use the self portrait setting

Have you tried to scrap them off? If they are hard and do not come off it's coraline, I have the same thing on my tank

Coraline can come in white. Granted I don't believe that's what it is.

I have them on my tank. They are not eggs, but actually tiny little snails, or slugs sense the don't have shells. I looked at them through a magnifier glass.

I would guess Spirorbidae Worms.

Where you can see them better than us here are some pics that may help.
These are nerite eggs.... they can be scattered throughout and have no special pattern like some. I wouldn't rule these out because the circles in your pic are pretty round and uniform in size as eggs will be.

Spirorbidae Worms.

You have nice nails.

Are they like the first or the second pic I posted? Either are nice benign critters.
