Pix & ID: Critters that come in your rocks: the good and the bad.

[mx51]

I just got my tank up and running and bought so live rock and put my sand in this weekend. I'm pretty sure one of the pieces of live rock has an aiptasia on it but thought I would ask you fine people. Sorry for the crappy pictures they are off my iphone.

Weird Bumps

Weird Bumps

I was hoping someone could help me identify this. I have several of these seaming to be growing in my tank. I found these on my mag scraper, and on a couple of rocks. I also have them on clam shell. The are somewhat hard to remove from the surface, and do not move at all. They are the consistency of mostly dried drops of elmer's glue. Almost the same color too.

Snail eggs

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

Yes, nerite eggs.

 

[Jetlinkin]

Great, thank you both for the quick replies. I searched and found more pics of nerite eggs, and that is most definitely what I have.
