Agreed. Nerite snails. I'm assuming you have some of the black/white ones with the rope-like texture?

That variety lay capsules as big as your head! There's about 100 eggs or so in each of those.

I just put snails in my tank last week and I have these same white dots. About 8 or 10 of them in the back corner on the glass.

They pretty much lay eggs all over the place all the time. I get the smaller smooth variety of nerite, because their eggs are so much smaller.
