it could be some type of mold or fungus, snail eggs, baby snails, or limpets. Without a picture, we really can't help you much.

Thanks dude, you're a sniper with snail egg descriptions! It says that they won't hatch, but I've found 2 cruzing my tank, so where did they come from? And so I just scrape off the eggs or will somthing eat them? Tey sound like good snails though, nothing beats freer snails! 6 bucks in my pocket !

odd your right that they dont hatch. most likely those are other/different snails need a pic or if not look it up. i just leave mine alone and plus its a little hard to take off the eggs

The eggs are really hard, >.< and there snails are not apple snails, and are not the other kind i have in my tank, they have a distinctive shell, are a black olive green color, so i am thinking it is nerite snails. but as got getting off the eggs i'm sure  a fork or a needel will work fine. Their fast too, their always zipping along my tank at night!!
