White Eggs?

[builderguy]

Okay, I don't have a camera available right now, but there are these little (1/8" dia.) white disc-shaped eggs all over some of my live rock. Anyone know what they might be?

disc shaped..... white..... hmmmm.... do they move? I wanted to say "snail eggs" at first, but you didnt say "clumps" or "bunches" of them, so perhaps a little like what might be a kind of flat-worm or other bug of some kind - of course.... if you can get a picture.

did u add any new zoas lately, it might be nudi eggs. keep an eye on them

 

[builderguy]

They don't move. I'll have to post a pic. I did add some zoos, but there are a TON of these. They showed up after adding some Nassarius snails...maybe they're from them?

from what i gather, they pop up due to high nutrient. I have them in my tank and when i did a search that's all I can remember. They are harmless.

are they kinda fuzzy looking? my nass snails (i can never spell the full name right so lets just call them nass snails) lay eggs all over the place but they are usually in clusters and are kinda fuzzy

If it's in the shape of long intestinal race tracks, then I'd say snail eggs.

Did you feed your tank after midnight?

 

[builderguy]

No...they are not in tracks....and no I didn't feed after midnight.

I just had a suspect turbo, who has been in the same place for a few days now do the same. I didn't see him deposit these "eggs." But he's been sitting there for a few days, and now I see these discs that look like little scales. Do you have any turbos?

 

[builderguy]

Yes, about 50 of them. I also wondered if it was the Nerites.
