Tank has been up about 3 months. Started with dry rock but added seeded media in the sump. These little things appeared a couple of days ago. They do not appear to be moving. There is another group down low attached to the over flow. I thought maybe limpets tho I have never had them so I'm not sure. They appear to have a shell but it is kind of soft and can be dented when pressed with a small object. I can not get them off of the rock using tweezers. I tried to scrape one off but they are so attached that they just tear apart when I try to remove theem. They are small, maybe 3-4mm. I'm not paranoid but want to make sure they are not bad for corals. This is the best image could get.

Nerite snail eggs ?
Hmm very possible. I've always been a slacker when it comes to my CUC so don't have a lot of experience with a snails. I added a bunch of snails to this tank trying to stay ahead of the uglies and 25 nerites were part of the package. Thanks

Do you know if these will hatch in the aquarium? Info I can find online is freshwater related.
Hatch, yes. Survive and grow into new adult snails, highly unlikely.
