I went to clean my panels and saw these eggs on my scraper. The only thing I could think of are my 2 clownfish finally mating and laying eggs. Only other thing I could think of are trochus snails, but they spawn in the water column. I have a post with a video of them spawning. Am I going to be a daddy? I had the scraper near a hammer colony they call home.

do you happen to have any nassrius snails because those look like nassrius snail eggs to me
If I have nassarius snails, I haven't seen them in probably a year. I started removing most of my sand. It's possible, but I'm not sure.

However, I do have those super small white snails (not sure what they're called). They're all probably 1mm in size, but I also haven't seen them in a long time. They only come out at night.

Do you have any nudibranchs? These are Berghia eggs. They are small and tight, but in a totally different pattern. Clown fish eggs are on the rock in the lower picture.
