Today I noticed these tiny eggs in the top front corner of my tank but have no idea what they are. I'm not sure if this belongs here but assuming invert? My cleaner shrimp is gravid quite often. It's hard to make out with a camera phone but there are just barely what looks like two darker almost eye spots. They sway with the current and are very round. Any ideas?

They look like Tunicates in the first two images.
Please list all fish and inverts to narrow it down. :)

Various snails but have seen my orange chestnut snails mate and spray into the water column. It's quite a show, at the same time all over the tank they sycronize their release.

Any ideas?

Does anyone have a link to information on trying to hatch/raise the fry? If they continue to spawn I plan to try my luck. I have a new tank waiting to be set up

There is hobbyist that was breeding them and raising the fry, I will need to dig around to find that info. I would start with researching clown fish breeding because a lot of the basic principals are going to be the same.
