I've got eggs...

[Bent]

So I'll try to grab a pic tonight. In my refugium I have a couple clusters of what appears to be eggs. At first I thought it was a flat worm, but upon closer inspection they are in fact eggs.

The only animals in there, that I know of are hermits, a sea hare, and one lone porcelain crab that I can't seem to get out.

The eggs are in a flat sac that's flat against a rock. There are specs of black that I'm assuming are the eggs. The sac is white.

Sea hare is the likely culprit.

Sea hare is the likely culprit.

It don't look like sea hare eggs from google image searches. Maybe I'll try the specific species.

Finally got a pic. Got to zoom in on those black blobs.

Cool, wonder what they are from

FYI, I now have these everywhere. Everywhere. Even in the sump.

I scoured the net for about a month trying to figure out what they are, and I think I have the answer.

They are purple porcelain crab eggs I think. What leads me to that conclusion is that I am finding more and more very small porcelain crabs that I never noticed before. Some of them are very small, maybe half a dime size.

Pretty interesting.

I beleive porcilan crabs will hold on to the eggs till they hatch so if your finding them on the rocks i doubt that was them.
