I had the same looking thing on my mangroves too and assumed it was snail eggs. They have since disappeared. Tagging along for interest.

Welcome to TRT!!!
have no idea what they are, sorry. 
do not worry about nitrates 20ppm or lower. most test kits can not measur that accurately anyway.

It looks like a little algea that I get once in awhile in places that get funky flow. My Tang and CB keep it munched pretty well. Then it just disapears.
