These started showing up yesterday. I jabed one with a stick and it popped. They are all the same size, they are all round and they are either white or yellow. Just looking for a ID on them to know if I need to pull the rocks to get them off. Thanks in advance.

Bump. They look like those mini marshmallows that come in cocoa mix to me.

Edit -lol I was typing while you bumped your thread.

They sorta do look like those marshmallows. Yesterday morning I had 5 to 10 of them in one area now I have 50+ through out the tank and I go to work tomorrow for a 24 hour shift and would like to know if this is something that needs to be dealt with tonight.

They are round as in spherical or round and flat? I don't know how fast nudibranchs multiply but thats one thing they might be. Any other observations about them? Their texture perhaps? Stripes? Spots?

They will never heal if you pop them!

I figured it out they are nerite snail egg pods. Thanks everyone for you replies

Do you have snails of the genus Nerita in your tank?
It looks to me like Nerita sp. eggs.

Wet Web Media. I got anxious last night after 4 hours of google searches. So I emailed them and had a reply a couple of hours later. Had a great reply and they asked for a close up shot. So in the morning when i get home I will send them a nice macro shot.

Kinda like THIS request for a close-up?
