Well Hello there,
I have a bit of a situation occurring at the minute: 3 days ago I noticed one of my Hammers had white “spots” on some of its tips. It looked as though these were inside the tip and not on the surface, I thought perhaps my Torch had stung it and moved them apart to be safe.
This morning I was awake earlier than normal as I have some Clownfish arriving soon. As the lights were still off, I noticed these “eggs” were now on the surface of the tips and were floating off one by one. I also noticed the presence of a 2nd head as well, which I had not previously been aware of due to the angle it is positioned in within my tank.
I hastily inspected all the corals in the tank and saw a larger “egg sack” on one of my Frogspawns as well. This particular Frogspawn developed a large “bubbled” center/mouth about a month ago, which coupled with new tentacles and a clear split in the skeletal structure, lead me to believe it is forming a new head.

Do any of you all have an opinion or suggestions pertained to what this may be?

Tank Contains: A Firefish Goby, Yellow Watchman Goby, Cerith, Trochus & Astraea Snails, Feather Duster, Cluster Feather Duster, Strawberry Conch, Pom Pom Crab & a rogue Bristleworm whose presence I’ve made peace with.
Thank you all!

Sorry, I can’t really tell from the pictures. Are they smooth and round in person? Or do they look like they’re made up of little curly hairs?
