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.

video is short and fuzzy to really tell. Lighting can also be brighter
