[cthoughts1]

Hey guys and gals.. Just wondering if someone can help me figure out what these white spots are that have been appearing throughout my tank.. Any thoughts or suggestions on them would be appreciated..

Some kind of eggs but from where?Others will chime in.I see the little starfish in there.Might be them.Maybe.

Thanks Zany.. I'm thinking they're some kind of eggs as well.. I did add a bunch of snails recently.. The white spots are all over the place man.. Looks like my live rock caught the chicken pox or something.. lol If anyone else can confirm I'd appreciate it..

Thanks JonnyIce.. I did add nerites so you are probably right..

I have those to. But what are nerites? Those white egg things appeared in my tank about 2 months ago all over my powerheads. But it looks like they hatched.

nerites = snails..

 

[cthoughts1]

Confirmed. Nerite snail eggs they are... Thanks for your help guys. Mods please close before people start asking "What size tank?" and stating "Nerites need at least 125g minimum..." etc.

Its so funny that you mentioned this, because I noticed yesterday that they are popping up all over my tank. Will it go away?

 

[JonnyIce]

Nothing ever happened with mine but they are still around with some coralline on them lol
