Argh, think I have eggs on my plants!

Bought some plants from P@H (not getting the fish from there though ) and I have noticed on one of the leaves, there are tiny silver balls, 3 of them, I first thought it was bubbles from the filter and pump but it definately isn't.

I have only just set the tank up, the water isn't ready.

Don't know what to do.

Rinste the plants off with warm water.
Never put plants straight from the shop into your tank, Always rinse them. I didn't once and I got snails. Now I have HUNDREDS of them!

If they are snail eggs then simply rinsing the plants won't kill them, you need a solution of Potassium permanganate or Copper to deal with these.
