I have got some white specks on my back glass. They look like a 1/16th inch circle like a spot of white paint with a small yellow thing in the middle. Could this be some kind of egg. I have a 90gal reef with live rock and sand, green star polyp, 2 clowns, 1 coral banded shrimp and one peppermint shrimp. I couldnt get a close focused picture to post, because they are so small I guess. Any ideas on whether they are good or bad?

Possibly coraline algae? Though I don't know about polyps in the center. If it's coraline, it's good, it's a sign of a maturing tank.

It has some sort of thing on the inside of it that is yellow and it wipes right off with a magnet cleaner

I get them all over in my 29...I think they are snail eggs as I seem to have hundreds of tiny snails all of a sudden.
