Question on ID. Got this tiny hammer frag, dipped and was taking some pics, saw these, what look like eggs? Going to try to brush them off with a toothbrush . Anyone have an idea?

Looks like it may be a bryozoan and some sponge - both should be harmless filter feeders.
Sweet, I knew about the sponge and I was excited for that I was just going to spend $$$ on a sponge but now do not have to, after looking up marine bryozoans I think you hit it on the head, eggs imo would be convex and these are concave. Someone on FB group said snail eggs to planarians - but I think I trust the voices on R2R more :) Cheers and thanks, will turn it around tomorrow and do some more investigating and maybe put the macro lens on...

BLUE ZOO: BRYOZOANS This was an interesting read. Jake Adams was not a huge fan of sponges - get it- this though, is all about bryozoans.
