eggs

Hi folks I’m wondering what this could be. I’ve noticed these tiny dots in the past 5 days or so on my front glass. It’s been hell trying to photograph them. There are a few diffent “colonies” and all are arranged in a cool feathery looking group. My tank is a little over 2 years old. I’m...

I just witnessed my bta releasing a egg package into the water column. An hour after the lights went off, i was sitting at the table and saw a "ball" shooting out of her mouth. It immediately floated to the top. I catched the package and put it into a floating container. How do you even care...

Hello, I had this cleaner shrimp for couple months now, but only today I noticed she’s like bigger and I noticed these egg like things in her belly. I never had any other shrimp in the tank she’s the only one. So is she pregnant or??

Came home from work today to see my clowns busily tending a clutch of eggs in their corner of the tank. It’s pretty cool to see them at work, and it’s a pretty decent sized patch - provably a circle about 2” in diameter. My question is - what are the odds we could get any survivors? There’s a...

I noticed these today… are they clownfish eggs or possible algae (like bubble)

Saw this stuff streaming out of my feather duster. It had some sort of mucus that didn’t show up well on camera. Looks like poo but maybe eggs? I don’t know much about them anatomically. This was the same worm that dropped both its feeding appendages and is still doing great.

Does anyone know what these could be by any chance? I didn’t notice them when I checked my tank earlier today but now they’re here on this rock, they flow with the current and everything. In the tank I have 2 firefin gobies a yellow watchman, a clarkii clownfish, a lawnmower blenny and an...

My anenome is usually very large and covers this section of the tank but I did a decent water change today and he hasn't come back to normal size yet. This allowed me to notice a bunch of eggs stuck to the rock usually hidden by him. I'm guessing they are my two clown fish eggs but I have no...

Hello everyone!! Today I found an egg mass on the live rock in my invertebrate QT tank. I think I can rule out crustaceans because they carry their eggs with them, so the possible culprits are blue tuxedo urchins (most unlikely because the ones I have are small still), and Truchus snails...

Anyone know what this is? I have a very fine sand in my tank, it is fallow right now treating for ich. I have two conch, two turbo snails, other random snails, a scarlet shrimp. Ive seen these piles in the corners or along the glass and my wife got a really good picture today. The conch has...

What are they. Can anyone help out?

These eggs came with a frogspawn that I picked up from my Lfs today. I removed them with a knife and their texture was tougher than expected, almost like silicon, and they were attached pretty well. Anyone know what they might be?

I have so many snails in my system. The banded Trochus spawned in the water column when I first added them in spring so there are hundreds. So, I assume these aren't Trochus. How did they get the eggs in the small gap between the cleaner and glass? My rock is filled with baby Nerite, Trochus...

Are these Cerith snail eggs? They don’t seem to have the same egg structure as the pictures I see online. Should I keep them, remove them from the tank, or let my tuxedo urchin graze over them?

Hello, About a week ago we had an outbreak of marine velvet in our QT tank - we believe it came from adding snails to our tank. We quickly lost a mustard tang and a BS Jawfish. Within hours we set up our hospital tank and started treated with copper and metro. We have 2 clowns, 1 angel, 3 PJ...

I’m QTing/Holding some livestock from my Dad’s tank that I’ve broken down. I have a variety of snails, hermits, a mated pair of clowns and a wrasse. I’ve found on the PVC pipes what looks to me like eggs. Anyone know who’s eggs they are?

My clownfish recently started laying and this is their second time laying in my tank and they have laid before but not in my tank and there are a lot of eggs but only 20 hatched each time and there is complete darkness water quality is perfect but still only get a few

So I currently have two clowns in my 110-gallon tank that I added on 7/12, and yesterday I added a blue tang and a purple firefish goby. I currently feed one cube of mysis (1/2 2x daily) and starting yesterday added some nori sheets although tang hasn't seemed interested in it yet, shes eaten...

i bought a urchin for my algae problem and its been working well but my clowns have started spawning and wanted to know weather i should separate them for now and the clowns laid on rocks so I cant move the eggs either

Anyone know why pom pom crabs are so notoriously difficult to rear? Google shows a couple of dedicated reefers who have tried with all kinds of complicated equipment. Apparently breeding them is about as easy as it is for any invert, but once the young hatch, it suddenly gets too difficult to...

Wasn't going to post this for fear of things going badly, but decided to post anyway because it could help someone else have success in the future. I acquired 2 Pacific brown octopus 1 month ago on Sept 8th 2023. Same day shipping. One died the next day, the other survived ("Nugward"). I...

My poor alveopora has been angry for about a week now. I thought it was the lights. Or flow. Well upon closer inspection, all the little things I thought were “pineapple sponges” were actually egg clusters. And these little pink stringy things picked off with tweezers. I believe they were some...

My peppermint shrimp laid eggs and I guess they hatched ?? I’m just shocked, they are flying all around and there’s a lot of them dying I’m sure.. I don’t know what to do!! I have a 30 gallon tank, 7-8 weeks in I have one tailspot Blenny and one neon goby (just some to start off) 2...

I have a Red Sea Reefer 170 reef tank with a mated pair of black ocellaris clowns. I got them second hand, and they’re of a decent size (male is ~2.5 inches, female is ~3 inches). Previous owner was not sure of their age. Other fish inhabitants include Midas blenny, long nose hawk fish, yellow...

I thought I share this video of my clown fish pair (Big Mama and Nemo X) spawning .... was not ready for this, so I will leave them be.... Happen to take a look at their tank last night and caught them in the act. Only had my phone without filters so not the best video but still pretty cool...
