please ID:
I found these in two different places on the glass, and one place on the rock....seems to be some strange pattern of white eggs....

A different type of egg-sacks that I found on the glass...now there is brown cyano on them, but originally they were just white

I think this is some kind of SPS coral that came as a hitch-hiker on the rocks of my new mushroom coral.....if it is an SPS coral, should I place it near the top of the tank (since I only have PC lights)?

1 I believe are nassarius snail eggs. I'm not sure on the other 2. 3 kinda looks like a rectracted xenia, a soft coral. However, the pic is blurry and hard to tell.

The egg masses in pictures 1 and 2 could be from a wide variety of snails. What snails have been added to the tank?

Picture 3 does look like a soft coral to me, but the picture is pretty blurry.

first pic are snail eggs
second pic might be hydroids (new tanks usually have em)
*might be some little fan/tube worms
third pic looks like more of a soft coral, its blurry though....

You can try leaving the thing in the third pic where it is and see how things go- looks like its trying to live so keep an eye on it.

i have ceriths, turbos, astreas, and nassarius in there. It may have just been passing by, but i saw a cerith very close to the eggs in pic 1, and nassarius close to the eggs in pic 2.

ahh Im pretty sure I seen my ceriths lay those patterns ... usually in after adding them. I didnt have any babies though... I think another snail cleaned em up.

Cerith eggs, likeliest. Maybe strombus grazer eggs on the second one [small hitchhiker snails]. Could be button polyp on the third.

i have a small toadstool in my tank that looks just like the item in picture number 3

1. cerith snail eggs 100% sure
2. look more like nassarius eggs than any of the others you listed
3. i would go with a baby toadstool as well.

That is exactly what I am thinking. I'm almost positive that #2 are Nassarius Snail eggs. There is a chance that they are Ilyanassa Snail eggs. Are you sure that you have Nassarius vibex Snails? They are often confused with Ilyanassa obsoleta Snails.

[bertoni]

My Nassarius vibex produced patterns like those in picture 1.

I have a post about the first type of eggs. was told it was nassarius snail eggs. I read about them and it said they breed very easily now i have lot of new little ones going around the tank. My eggs looked the exact same.

[s2svetko]

I was told they would get eaten and/or destroyed but some made it into my bakpak and grew from there

[Paintbug]

the first pic are cerith eggs
