So I get home from BRA today and notice floating on the surface and gathered around the edges are these round green things. I was thinking maybe they were eggs since it was all of a sudden but seems odd and would like other opinions. Hope it is nothing to worry about...

Livestock - 2 sexy shrimp, 1 anemone crab, 2 snails, 1 hammer coral, 2 rock anemones

hmmm, first thing that came to mind is a bubble nest, almost like the nest a male betta builds.
Are the bubbles solid? Like they might be eggs? Some look larger than others, so dont think they are eggs. Or are they just air bubbles collecting algae on the surface of the water?
 
looking at the images that i have seen do you have a skimmer in that tank?is it a nano of some kind
 
you need to get some surface breakage to get the nasty's into the little filter in the corner of the tank
 
I agree. Need more water/surface movement. What ever it is, it shouldnt be collecting in the corner. The surface of the water should be rippling and moving toward your overflow or skimmer or filter.
 
The filter creates ripples on the surface but turned the mp10 a little higher which is doing a better job.

After a couple hours it is all gone - thanks for the help!
