Can someone Identify

[Collwins]

I have these white circles on them. They look more calcified then soft. GOOD or BAD.
Thanks

They almost look like snail eggs to me. Not 100% sure though.

Yes snail eggs

Hmm not so sure I agree on snail eggs. I get these in my tank as well and the same spots have been in the same place for months. Wicked was over the other day and we talked about em. He gets them also and hasn't figured it out either.

If they are in fact snail eggs maybe they are just going unfertilized? Not sure on the reproductive cycle of snails though so its just a wild guess.

Yes they are snail eggs and will not hatch most of the time
