So I somehow have these white spots, shown below, showing up. First they appeared on the zoa frag. I removed it, dipped it again, and put it back and still there (yes, I scrubbed it with a toothbrush lol). Now they're showing up on the bivalve as well. Any idea what these could be?

Edit: I can't get the pics any clearer - all I have is a phone camera :(

Nerite snail eggs and will likely get eaten before they would hatch

I have ceriths, nerites, and trochus snails in the tank. The thing is that these don't move. Once they're there, they are there. The ones on the zoa frag plug have been ~ three months.

Also, they are only raised maybe a millimeter. I have snail eggs everywhere but they don't look like that. I have a crap ton of baby snails on the back wall of the tank as well.

I guess I'll keep an eye on them and see how they develop.

Thanks everyone!
