Round white dots on plants

[The Big Figfetti]

I was doing track maintenance yesterday and I noticed my vallisneria had a leaf on it with 3 white dots. Didn’t make much of it.
Now, this morning, I noticed my Anubias has them too. What could these be?
Sorry for the poor lighting, the lights haven’t come on yet this morning.

Looks like snail eggs

Looks like nerite snail eggs.

Thank you! I thought maybe snails!
I do have some pest snails, so if they aren’t nerite, can they be removed if I just rub them off the leaf? I know nerite won’t hatch in freshwater.

If they are nerite eggs it will be difficult to remove them from a leaf. I have to use a metal scraper to get them off glass and when they are on wood I usually end up removing the surface off the wood as well.

Pest snails (the pond/bladder ones and the tiny ramshorn snails) usually lay eggs in jelly. Your photos show the same as my nerite eggs.
