Freshwater or marine? Looks like marine cyanobacteria.
What kind of fish are in the tank? Hard to tell who the eggs are from if we don’t know what could lay them.

Looks like red slime algae, or cyano. Caused by a shortage of nutrient levels. There are chemical treatments, but I would try to up those nutrient levels and reduce lighting. Remove what you can to help.
