Eggs?

[Noobreefer84]

I was curious if anyone could help me ID what these egg like balls are. I was doing some maintenance on my QT that has a few frags in it. Under my dougboy mushroom I was getting rid of some bristle works and found these weird egg things. The QT has not had any new live stock added for months if not more. it just runs with a few trocus snails and some frags that have been there for a long time too. So I have no idea what would leave these behind.

Any help would be appreciated.

Very strange. Trouchus broadcast spawn, so not them. Try looking in the middle night with a flash light for other shelled inverts.
Please report back on what you discover.
Hopefully someone will know.

its stumping me too, too big to be nerite snails eggs and wrong shape, I almost want to say maybe bleached and/or calcified bubble algae but it doesn't look right either

Yah its very odd. Only things in that tank currently is a Doughboy, Favia, few bumblebee snails, trocus snails and a Belus Angel in QT prior to going into the main display.

I did some maintenance on it today and noticed a explosion of bristle works.. so I took all the rubble rock out and picked as many off as I could. Probably got 30 or so. When I went to pick them off the rock the Doughboy is attached to, thats when I found these egg looking things under the rock. They are attached to the part of the rock that was buried in the gravel as well.

First I thought flat worms, but that wouldn't make sense as nothing has been added and I have never seen any in the tank ever and its been running for a year at least as a QT.

Well now I must know!!!!!
If willing and able can you take another image not shaded, just a little more focused. If not that's OK, don't worry about me not getting any sleep until I have an ID.

Thank you!!

The eggs look all different ages.

My only thought that seems to make sense would be bumblebee snail eggs perhaps...

I'm on the fence to let them hatch and see what happens... but if they are something considered a pest... could be a problem lol. Thankfully its QT so i can just strip it and reset.
