White spots (snail eggs?)

[sykes_33]

I have recently been seeing white dots on the glass of my 125g salt. From what I have heard in the past they are suppose to be snail eggs. I find when I scrub them off the center comes off first but after a few more scrubs the outter circle comes off. They are about the size of a human pimple and white. Nothing fancy or odd about it. Just wondering if I should scrap it or let nature take it's course.

yup sounds like snail eggs do you have any nerites in your tank?

[cuttingras]

Some what?.. Soory new beginner.. I have mostly turbo snails if not 3 or 4 store bought snails. Do I leave it alone and let nature take its course.. i think leaving it alone will be self benifit because I won't have to buy more snails.. LOL

but I also read just now that it just won't happen and they won't hatch properly?

eventually something eats them like hermits or they just disappear...mine do...they come in big spots and then go a few weeks/months later. If they bother you, you can scrape them off the glass, but they don't really do anything...

free coral food when the egg sacks get released into the water column

Those white dots might also be juvenile fan worms. Can you describe them a bit more or post a picture?

[sykes_33]

look like white dots.. nothing big or fancy..about the size of a pin head.. already scraped them so no pic available.

these are the little guys causing the white bumps, unless you figured it was something else







are the dots like these?
