In refugium.
I have 2 trochus in there. (Around 2 months ago)
Munnid isopod, amphipod, tisbe and other copepode, its a crowded place.

Those eggs coincide whit the introduction of the trochus... but... could be other things.

Its the closer i could get.
Tisbe pod next to it.

I also have these new comer (could be related ?)



Any ideas?

And new flatworm... probably nothing to worry about.

I am pretty sure Trochus spawn into the water column, it's what I have seen in my tanks in the past, plumes of snail sperm and eggs, then in a month tons of baby snails clogging every thing in their path

I read that you only have 2 kinds but maybe a hitchhiker, since the eggs are there.
