Swirly eggs on glass?

[d-dzel]

I noticed that my nass snails laid eggs which are that long curly line, but there's tiny spots around it that if zoomed in they have a swirl like shape. Any idea on what the swirls may be?

Your link didn't work but do they look like this??
These are spirorbidae (sp?) worms and they are beneficial filter feeders...

I have these little guys all over in my 55. Haven't seen them magnified like your pics!!! I just thought they were barnacles or some sort of crustacean. Great pics T!!!

They look a little like that. Here's a working link of the pic I took, sorry if it's a bit blurry

those are spironoid (sp?) tube worms. harmless filter feeders. alot are a sign of excess nutrients but you dont seem to have that many. they also tend to set up shop in low flow areas like low flow sump chambers.
