ID what's on my glass

[jamesonwhiskey]

I've have reef tanks for a few years and have seen eggs and whatnot on my glass from time to time but I've never seen this... any ideas? It's hard to see but it looks like 2 giant pods connected by clear fishing line, sorry I can't describe it better lol. pics will be up in a min....

Hard to tell with the just actinics. Any chance of something similar coming out of the rocks?

None coming out of the rocks... haven't seen them before anywhere in the tank. They almost look like tadpoles with their tails connected. I'll put more pics when my lights are on at 2

Maybe take one of them out of the tank to take a pic of it? Your camera is focusing on whats in the tank behind the unidentified hitch hiker.

I'd really like to know what it is too

Is it connecting gossamer like strings with some kind of circle/ or oval shape connected?

That's what it looks like to me.
If so, then it looks like nerite eggs. I have those in my tank and they lay spidery patterns that are very spread out compared to when my nerites lay eggs.

or some kind of snail. I have 3 or 4 types in my tank but usually attribute that pattern to the nerites

It doesn't quite look like that unless your photo is very zoomed in? I do have a few types of snails so maybe it is something along those lines...

Kathy, I was away for the weekend and most of them disappeared again so I couldn't get one out of the tank to take a pic. Just to note though that it's not a hitchhiker in my opinion, it's definitely some sort of reproductive larvae or eggs or something

Try to use manual focus on it.
