Hello reefers,

I woke up this morning to discover these little white spheres on my Favia. Are they eggs? Who do we think they could be from?

In the tank I have:
1 Box fish
1 foxface rabbit
2 Fire fish gobys that sit on the other side of tank
2 damsels (1 yellow tail, 1 yellow belly). These I most suspect except that they don't hang out much. One is pretty territorial, altho one time I saw them kinda playing and doing a non aggressive following
1 watch man goby
Bunch of hermits, also suspect these guys cuz I saw six of them in the area a few days ago all crawling over each other
1 engineer goby
Few nassarius snails
1 Sally light foot recently molted
1 cleaner shrimp
1 coral banded shrimp
1 tiger conch
1 sandsifting star
1 pincushion urchin

Picture below
Video:

Thank you in advance!

It looks like maybe poop. Favias use those wrinkles in their flesh to bring food to their mouths and move waste away.
