Icon5 What is on my glass?

Hello all, This stuff keeps showing up on my glass every so often, about every 2 weeks it seems like now. My Mexican Turbos are doing it, at least I think, could be my nassarius snails too, but I never see them on the glass. It's hard to scrap off but in time seems to go away on it's own. I have this stuff in 3 different places now on the glass, all on the same side though, pretty close to each other. Any ideas....? Thanks!

Snail eggs. Not a bad thing. Probably won't get much if any new snails out of them if you have fish in the tank as they will probably get eaten by something. Leave them alone and one day you will look and they will be gone. Then you can get out the magnifying glass at start looking for tiny snails.

Thanks for the info guys, figured they were snail eggs. I only have 2 mex. turbos right now, but at night I swear like 20 tiny snails come out and all over the glass. I am a little concerned they are going to take over my tank, should I be, or will they start to die due to lack of food?

eldalote2, lol, ya she somehow she ended up in each picture. And those pics are from 2 totally different spots on the glass and tank. So for whatever reason she swimmed to each spot just at the right time for me to take the pic She is pretty smart I guess, must like the camera, lol!
