Default Eggs? Any ideas

I came home tonight to this in the base of a powerhead, looks like eggs! Here is what I have in the tank:
1 tiger serpent star
1 Arrow crab
1 O. Clown
1 Fox Face
1 Banggai Cardinal
1 Firegoby
1 Yellowheaded Jaw Fish
1 Royal Gramma
1 Green Chromis
1 Blue Tang

At first i thought it may have been the crab, but the petsolutions web page says that these crabs carry their eggs on their abdomin.
Any chance that these might be viable?
If so what should I do. All organisms have been in the tank for at least 6 months, most two years.

Any ideas would be great!

Thanks,
Dustin

you don't have a pair of any of the fish mentioned in your sig which what would have been my first guess....especially the location of the eggs. my only assumption would be your snails have decided to multiply, just a guess though...hopefully you'll get some better input from others.

Could you all see the picture I posted? or did it not come up? I think that that something found those eggs, they were not there when I feed they today. But I still don't know where they came from, any other guesses. I still have no clue.
