    Do you have any pics? From your description, they might be snail eggs.

    They are a pain in the ***. I believe they are a type of snail. They will spread like crazy. If you have a fuge the whole inside will be covered with them. They are very hard as well.

    I dont know how to get rid of them, but GL

    from your description it sounds like spirorbid worms. they are tiny feather duster worms and they are harmless, they feed on particulate matter.

    They're harmless. Mine scrape off pretty easily with a mag float.

    I clean my glass every couple of days. Probably 10 or so each time.
