Invested?! Need ID please
Hi guys,
Was doing a water change tonight and flipped over one of my corals/rocks and noticed it was invested with these white bubbles... I touched it and they popped very easily. I took a closer look and I noticed some small baby pod like things inside them... they looked kindof like eggs....... however there's nothing in that tank since its my frag tank and there is only a 6 line wrasse, stary blenny, and arrow crab. If anyone could ID these for me that would great, I hope they aren't pest... or I'm going to toss that rock out ASAP. Pictures attached and thanks in advance! If you look closely you can see the tiny eyes/bodies forming.... |

I could be way off the mark and no expert but I am thinking your crab laid some eggs

Those are eggs of some sort, look like little brown tadpoles in the sacs...

Totally meant infested LOL.
Guess I'll have to let them hatch to find out then eh? |

But if the eggs turn out to be some cash crop then you're definitely invested!

My guess is tunicates. They come in many colors and sizes. They are a harmless filter feeder.

does anybody else see the brown spots in other places or is it just me , the size shape and color of the brown spots look like flatworms to me but I can only spot one on each egg and maybe some eggs popped . Arrow crabs hold there eggs so there not that could be truncates , maybe look elsewhere for flatworms.
