Eggs or Parasites???

Well, I thought I posted this once already, but I guess not... If so, just ignore or let me know and I can delete this one...

I was cleaning my aquarium today and I noticed a couple patches of what look like eggs attached to the glass of my aquarium. They are small clear bubble shaped cases with approx 3-6 tiny white specs in them. The number of specs inside the half bubble shaped capsules varies from case to case. I am curious as to what might have planted these here and whether I should get rid of them or see what comes of them...

The fish I have in my aquarium are:
Couple of Green Chromis
Yellow Tang
Peppermint Shrimp
Bubble Starfish
Several Serpent Starfish

I tried to take a picture, but my camera will not focus in on the bubble clusters. All in all, there are about 13 bubbles per cluster and I would say a cluster is about the size of a nickel. Any thoughts?

It could be eggs but i am not 100% sure I havent really heard of anything like that!

Yeah, they look like eggs to me... my only problem is whats is in them... I considered taking them out of the aquarium and putting them in a plastic bin, but I dont know if removing them will affect the growth and all that... Hmm... And if it is eggs, what can reproduce asexually? I know the shrimp can, but her/his eggs are green and you can always tell when it is prego... Hmm... Thanks though for the reply!

Those are most likely snail eggs.Think of em as free fish food.
