Been awhile since i needed an id on something. Do not need an id on the coral need an id of the white ovals on the rocks. Over the last month they have increased in the rocks and bottem of the tank. Any ideas?

like i said in the post above do not need an id on the coral need an id on the white spots on the rock. to big to be snail eggs.

I would guess some type of sponge. I've had similar in my tank without any problems.

Do you have nerve snails. Looks just like them to me. I have them all over the place...dirty little snails :)

Just looks like white little rocks embedded into your stone. But I dunno, it's hard to see. probably some sort of little copepod.

I would have thought the same thing but they are also starting to appear on the bottem of my tank that is BB

Yeah they're snail eggs. They're not really good for your tank, you should take that rock out and smash the eggs. They eat your SPSs.

Sorry, but no. They are harmless nerite snail eggs. Besides, an egg has never eaten a thing. :spin1: Nothing to be concerned about here.

Yup, nerites. You may get lucky and see a few babies in a month or two.
