    While looking at my fuge this morning i noticed these whitish clear things attached to the chaeto, each little "egg" is attached to its own string of chaeto. I have never seen anything like it before. Anybody have any idea what they could be??

    I have hermits, snails, and a birstle worm or two in the fuge.

    They dont move at all, I have shook the chaeto and none of it falls off. Its possibley a sponge, we have three different kinds growing in the sump already. Just seemed weird. Any other ideas?

    If they don't move I will guess some kind of sponge too.. can you get a super close up picture of them?
