My little tank today has shown up with white spots on the inside, quite a few actually in just a day, kindof look like paint spatter dot's. Any idea?

Oh good lord, they are everywhere and in another of my tanks today as well - I'm conflicted, I'd love to take an algea brush to the glass but if they are eggs... well, I don't want to harm them - then again, I don't want 2 dozen baby snails either. Every once in a while, one will go free swimming, my clowns will eat it and then spit it out.
The picture I am attaching makes them look slightly bigger than they really are and the picture doesn't really show the quantity of them either. I just wanted to give a visual on what I'm talking about.
Hmmm, I just tried about 20 times to upload and it won't let me...

I resized it so this should help.
Unfortunately it is really hard to tell what they are. Even if eggs, you should be able to get away with scraping them off. It may seem hard now but you'll get used to it :)

Of course I'm no expert, but Did have a similar thing when my tank was fairly new. (only mine were more pinkish or flesh colored) And liked to be on my mushrooms mostly, although were all over tank. Took to my lfs where I was told they were flat worms or maybe a larval state of something. Never really figured it out, but after a couple of months they just dissappeared. Never seemed to hurt anything either. Not the best answer but maybe it helps.
