Looks like eggs, but who laid them

[Durbelethwen]

A few days ago I discovered what appears to be a bunch of eggs between two layers of rocks in my tank. If they are eggs, who do they belong to? I have a male and a female sexy shrimp- but I thought shrimp carry their eggs around with them until they hatch. I have two astrea snails- but I thought they would lay they eggs on glass not hang upside down to a place I have never seen them at to lay. I also have one cerith snail, one black and white clown goby, and one Caribbean sailfin algae blenny (which did come the same day I discovered the eggs). I would provide a picture, but I am not very good with taking aquarium pictures and due to where it is it would be hard to get a good picture.

cerith snails are pretty prolific at laying eggs (mine were) - they are white rice shaped and normally they lay clumps of them at a time.

As for your eggs - you say you have 3 fish in your tank? gobies and a blenny?

that's it?

are the eggs white? orange? what shape?

I have only one goby and the blenny (my tank is a six gallon nano). I also have one cleaner shrimp but I thought I heard it still takes two of them to reproduce and don't they also carry the eggs too. The eggs are white (that was why my first instinct is that they are eggs). I am not sure what would be the best way to describe them but rice would not be one of them. They also look like sort of various whitish circular blobs. Also can a cerith snail reproduce with just one of him? On the same day I got the blenny I also put in a new coral frag (I bought them off of diver's den) but the coral is too far away for it to be a hitchhiker off of it.

Sounds like they may be formilins (sp) small tube worms, or other growth.

Pics are needed to even come close to a positive id.
