White stuff on leaves

[Jungle-mania]

Just bought a plant and found some white stuff like fine sand on the leaves and they came off under a running tap. I called the shop I bought, they said it is not snail's eggs, but I have my apprehension, any idea what it could be?

suppose you have completely removed it, any chance to have some pictures?? i would assume it is snail's eggs, but for me whenever i purchase plants, would give it a good wash before it settle in my tank.
