dsoz Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I think they are snail eggs. What kind of snails do you have? dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Interesting. I wondered what those were as well and noticed what appear to be small nasarius snails showing up in my tank. I thought it was odd because they have lighter colored shells than the ones I recall adding into the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikep503 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I recently had the same outbreak on the back of my aquarium and over some rocks. Hung around a few weeks then they just kind of dissapeared (nutty) Never did figure out what it was. Everyone that seen them guessed some kind of snail egg. I scraped a few off the back wall and they just seemed like a krusty piece of koraline algea. Wierd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finch6013 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have been getting this all over the glass for about two months now. Kind of annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racefan Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 They only come out at night when the lights are off,when the lights are on they are burrowed under the sand so it does not really bother me too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
