Please excuse the green stuff!

There appeared least night on my glass and I tried to get the best picture I could. Checking this morning they have not moved at all, so I doubt they are baby snails. My first thought was snail eggs, but I've only seen those in close bunches with "patterns". Any ideas? I'm not worried, just curious...

Algae. Comes off easy with a blade scraper.

I don't think he's referring to the algae. I think he's referring to the white things.

They could be hydroids but I'm not certain.

Sorry just woke up. Still had goop in my eyes.
I would guess snail eggs from the size, color and pattern they are on the glass, but they do seem to have little tentacles in the pics like a hydroid as Jenn said.
Do they have tentacles when you look at them up close?

I was gonna say, Smoothie...I said nevermind the green! It's right by my Vortech, so it's hard to clean on a regular basis. Yes, I'm referring to the white thing, Jenn. Hard to see if they have actual tentacles, but they seem to have a "skirt" of something around them. Hydroids= good, bad, no matter?

Hydroids are no problem....

They are asterina eggs.

I had those same things on my tank glass. Now I have a bunch of baby snails.

Hydroids = not good. IF that's what they are - I'm still not sure.

If they look like little tiny spiders, chances are they are hydroids. They will colonize someplace eventually.
