Eggs of some kind?
 
snail eggs....

If I had it to go over again, I'd have cleaned them off my glass when i first saw them. My fish didn't esat them, and a few weeks later, I'd turn on the tank lights in the morning to see about 50 very undecorative whit slug looking snails attached to my glass on my cube. They are benificial, just not very attractive.....

Interesting. I could use more snails, so I had high hopes but my fish ate every single one of them, all three times they've laid eggs.
 
I just accidentally wiped them off the glass with the Mag Float! Woops! i was also just about to post about seeing what I THOUGHT was a turbo with no shell. He's probably 3/4 of an inch and looks like a turbo from the bottom, but he has no shell to speak of! Weird...

Sounds like a stomatella to me.

New tank up?

Likely a Stomatella snail. They have a small vestige of shell - sort of like a half-shell on their back but they can't really withdraw into it.

Yeah, that's the snail alright! New tank will be up TOMORROW! :) I'm going to take this time to rid myself of lots of kenya tree and bryopsis as well. I found some bubble algae today, so I need to be careful removing it. I popped a bubble last week...:doh:
