Found in my Overflow box, what is it?

Ok, I just moved almost exactly one month ago, so my tank was broken down completely so I know for a fact these things were not in my overflow very long. About three days ago I discovered these whitish, pale yellow "pods" in my overflow box, about 30 of them maybe more. They're all connected to each other as well as the box and the down pipe with a web like thing. I could not take a very good picture as they're pretty small, about 1/8" x 1/4". They're fairly firm, I'm thinking they're some kind of egg.

Here's the best picture I could take....

Thanks in advance.

Looks like it could be a flatworm...not too good if you have a bunch of them. Tough to really tell because of the blurry picture.
 
Or maybe a stomatella snail---which is a good guy.
If it has a forked tail and no shell, it's a flatworm.
 
Pineapple sponge maybe? Hard to tell from the pic. When in water is there a definite oral end or arms or tentacles.
 
My damn camera just doesn't have a good macro mode, not for anything this small. The thing is firm to the touch, and there is one end that looks like an opening. the opposite end is rounded. I'll see if I can get a better picture tonight.

BTW, those clear plastic spoons are really starting to bug me, they keep popping up all over the tank.
