Sorry for the pictures, my water looks cloudy today. I have no corals as of yet, but I have a few things going on. I just had a hydroid bloom today, all over the glass. Apparently those go away after a bit. Really now wanting to know what the white circular spots are on the rocks. I hav several types of snails. Also need a recommendation on a good camera to take pictures of my tank, one that can even take a picture of the hydroids.

The pictures are hard to make out a great ID, but I would guess that they are nerite snail eggs, especially confirmed by the nerites in your last picture near the white spots.

Thanks for the input. I was thinking so, but just wanted to confirm. Got any recommendations for a good camera?

I don't know a ton about photography, but I use a Pentax DSLR (there are certainly other recommendable brands as well) and a Samsung Tab A tablet for decent pictures. I also have used a magnifier in conjunction with the cameras in order to get close-ups of tiny creatures for ID.
