These appeared overnight, so I'm suspecting they are eggs. I know for certain they don't belong to my clownfish or green chromis, because their eggs are elsewhere in my tank and distinctly different looking.

One of my engineer gobies keeps staring at it, so maybe it's their egg or they're eyeing to eat it.

There was some yellowish detritus on them that made me suspect eggs due to the dots, but I lightly blew on them, and now it looks like a mass of bumps.

Fish list:
3x Engineer Goby
2x Lyretail Anthias
2x Three Stripe Damsel
4x Green Chromis (they lay white eggs elsewhere)
5x Clownfish (two pairs are already laying eggs elsewhere)
1x Yellow Tang
1x Blue Hippo Tang
1x Starry Blenny
1x Springer's Damsel
Trochus Snails
Tectus Snails
1x Strawberry Conch
Peppermint Shrimps
1x Cleaner Shrimp

May very well be but pics are fuzzy to confirm
