ok light is off, time for inspection and...... this is coming, I'm not sure what this is but I see little brown eggs over couple polyps of the zoa colony. Anybody knows what the heck is this? never seen this :frusty:

sorry guys couldn't capture the tiniest detail from my phone camera, but as you can see the top and bottom colonies are all healthy and they have greyish color looking, the middle one is brown looking because of those eggs. def will get Rx or RPS all out tomorrow.

My theory is either they're copepod eggs since I saw a tons of them in the frag rack, or this nasty guy here acro eating flatworm eggs.

Unfortunately copepods or pods/shrimp in general do not lay eggs, they carry them either in their tail or on their body somewhere. Most likely nudibranch or flatworm eggs. Sorry.
