I brought home some Nassarius snails a few days ago, and today noticed about 20 really tiny millimeter sized circles on the glass. Are these egg sacks or something? There are quite a few of them, seems like a lot for a tiny snail to lay.

Its basically a round brownish sack with about 20 TEENY TINY little white balls inside each one. The balls inside each one are like 1/10th of a millimeter in size.

Try looking about halfway down. If So I think they're snail eggs.

Snail eggs for sure. My fish generally eat them all.

Good deal, I don't think my 4-stripe damsel has figured it out yet. He just now is getting the concept of "flake".
