Well, it's been four days and they are so small I had to get out a magnifying glass. I can't tell what they are yet, will have to wait. My LRS said they could even be something totally different, will have to wait till they get a little larger. No fish claiming them, but I guess this is normal. What ever they are, at least they are still alive!
