So, a friend of mine found some free live rock, with clownfish and corals from someone that was shutting down a small tank and asked me to put the fish in my QT since it was empty while he finished setting up his QT and DT.

Long story short, the previous owner had a bristle worm infestation that I discovered (luckily nothing went into my DT). As I was cleaning the rocks, doing a peroxide dip, etc. I came across these gelatonous items attached to the rocks, next to some bristle worm holes in the rocks. Are these bristle worm eggs, or what are they?
