what the heck is this??? - Reef-Geeks

I found a couple of batches of these. I have no idea what they are. They are in with my baby clown. The only things added were live nanno, rotifers and brine shrimp.

I'm having a hard time with the pic, is it on the glass on the surface? Where is it in your tank?

no green star. it's up towards the top of the tank near and at the water line. It's in my baby tank. on both sides. just one spot on each side.

Variko · Big-Geek

Were you eating a fancy cupcake near the tank?

rgrking · Spawning

no and nothing should have fell into it either. that's why I'm stumped.

rgrking · Spawning

however the original water was from the DT. Maybe there was something floating around in there.

Variko · Big-Geek

Id leave it. See what it turns into.

Looks like some kind of biofilm....need a bigger better pic. Googles not helping

What do you have as far as coral and anemones in this tank? Looks a lot like a spawn altho most spawns I have seen where individual pink egg masses not a big icky blob like that. Altho I have never seen a good spawn up close.

rgrking · Spawning

I have softies. Ricordea, zoanthids, xenia, kenya tree. The only nem is a sebae.

And no cowries I suppose?

I'm wondering if you have a bug in your house hat likes to lay egg on a water line... This is to wierd!

rgrking · Spawning

well there's only one kiddo, and I have more hatching this weekend.

No cowries either. I think I'm going to put it in its own tank and add some air and see what happens.

Looks like eggs from an insect possibly....? My kids have this stuff called moon sand that looks like it....

cdangel0 · Geek Story Teller

Are all of your ricordeas accounted for? It almost looks like a ric tore and a piece floated away. Polyp Bail Out?

rgrking · Spawning

Yeah its looking fine. I cleaned out the fry tank and forgot to keep this. If i see it again ill make sure i put it somewhere to keep.

I second the moon sand, if you have any kids that go any where near the tanks.
