Was not sure where to post sorry if it is in the wrong place. I just noticed these egg looking things about 10 minutes ago, Not sure what they are. The only tank inhabitants are a pair of clowns ( in know it cant be there eggs) A LOT of snails. one Brittle Sea Star, and a banded shrimp. So I don't know what or who laid these or if they where even laid. Just spotted these about 15 minutes ago. Look like some sort of egg I have a bunch of snails a shrimp and only two clowns oh and a starfish If they are egg I don't know who laid them or what please help

Kinda appears to be sponges, but most sponges have some type of mouth area

That is what I thought as well. But the things that is confusing me there all separated and there are about 19 in total. So I was boggled by it.

I think I have the same things as you, an on-line friend thought seasquirt/tunicate. So I am following. Maybe it is a Maryland thing =P

I had those in my last system. I could never figure out what they were from, but they are definitely a pouch of some sort. If you pop them a small amount of white liquid will come out. I figured it was some type of egg pouch from something in the tank. For some reason it was always on my frag discs more than anywhere else.
