    I've a number of tiny white spots on my glass that are shaped and look like sesame seeds except that they are not fat or rounded like eggs.

    Anyone have any idea what type of snail's eggs are that? I suspect these are zebra Snail's eggs but I think there is nothing inside the eggs. Maybe they are snail shits.

    I think I got the exact same thing!, like sesame seeds, only its a symmetrical circle shape instead of the sesame shape. They appeared over night all over my driftwood and rocks after I did extensive pruning and over 80% water change to combat algae. I've also got zebra snails, and they do like to roam on the wood and rocks a lot, so maybe ......?

    To all zebra snail owners:

    Pls check your tank for white spots, not white spots (ick) on your critters but on glass.
