About two days ago I noticed this small pale pinkish object on the glass of my 30 gallon reef. It didn't appear to be much more than the foot of a snail, almost flat against the glass. There was not much dimension to it or real identifiable characteristics other than a white random spot. I didn't know if it was a living creature or just some really pale algae starting.
Today I noticed right next to it, or behind it... a small cluster of eggs. It looks like a flatworm but it doesn't move like one, and from what I understand, flatworms split to reproduce, not lay eggs. In its center it has a stretched out narrow H pattern that I can see from its underside, it's body is transparent. It's diameter is approximately 1/2 inch x 1/4 inch, and it's body really has no definite shape.
At about noon today it was in the same spot as it has been since I first saw it. Now tonight I come in and it has moved about 6-7 inches, almost on the back glass.
If anyone has any experience with something like this I'd like any clues you can give me as to what it is and if it's reef safe or not. Thanks in advance!
