    The fish is a pygmy wrasse or a possum wrasse the two most common names

    My LFS says they are hard to get

    the white dots... are they in a spiral pattern? if so, small polycheate worms similar to feather dusters, have a short lifespan in tanks.

    or are they like this? if yes, snail eggs and no you likely won't get baby snails from them...

    Horton, do you have a magnifying glass? You'd be amazed at how much more you can see at 10x magnification. You can get one for less than $5.00

    I'll get a magnifying glass

    I think they might be the snail eggs. Do I just scrape them?
