Whose eggs are these?

[MarinaP]

They are 10x smaller than clownfish eggs, somewhat smaller that my carpet anemone eggs. They are about the right size for sps eggs, but bright red. Spawn occured last night, skimmer is not able to cope as of now, they are oily and buoyant. The tank where they accumulated in top corner mostly has exiled from the main tank large lps (chalices, brain, etc), 4 red cardinals, red macroalgae, large montis and green slimer colony. I syphoned some of them out to take a pic. Any guesses?

I have no idea, but want to see if anyone knows.

Well, buoyancy should narrow it down. My prime suspect would be green slimer, but I have never seen its’ eggs. I had a hoek that spawned, eggs/gametes were white and they stayed in the water column.

Mystery solved. I wrote to Jamie Craggs, and he confirmed that these were green slimer eggs. Very cool.
