    [​IMG]Ok so I saw these eggs on the "stalk" of a hydroid and can't ID them. There are about 5 of them. The only things *that I've seen* in the tank follow:

    Collonista snails
    Astraea snails
    Sexy shrimp
    Stomatella
    Micro brittle sea stars
    Various pods
    Bristle worms
    Spaghetti worms
    Blue leg hermits
    Vermetid snails
    Asterina stars

    That's all I can think of :/

    Nothing. Mushroom coral ~2mos ago, checked for critters and dipped before add. I just haven't seen eggs like this in the tank before.

    Based on your list of possibles, and the fact that the eggs are singular and are the right shape, they're most likely Collonista eggs.
