Some type of eggs on my glass?

[saltyandsweet]

Well I dont have any pictures to show but they are white bead-like eggs, that are looped twice against my glass. I have them in 2 corners, both in the same double loop pattern.

I have a lawnmower blenny that has been actively against the glass as if they came from her/him.

Other creatures in the tank:

Emerald crab, serpent star, scopas tang, false percs, BG Chromie, Snails and hermits

sorry for no pics.

I do have cerith snails, but the egg pattern is much much larger loops. I would say the loop you could fit the tip of your pinky between it. but the white color is spot on. Also it looks more like beads on a pearl necklace

Mine do different designs all the time. It's egg art.

Your previous post on zoanthids.... what if they are coils, like curly cues, that could be zoanthid nudi eggs.

They look like this?

If thats the case, you have your answer on closed up zoanthids. You need to pull them out, dip in iodine or fresh water and shake the nudi's loose then manually remove the egg sacks.

Potassium Pergramenate is also effective, see the post I made in the soft coral forum.

You'll need to keep dipping until you don't see them anymore, no eggs etc. It could take you weeks or months to rid yourself of them. I'd also suggest a yellow coris or melanarus wrasse to eat them.

Look closely on the undersides or bulb of the polyps... nudis will lay eggs anywhere, rock, glass, polyps etc.

 

[saltyandsweet]

they are like loops on a roller coaster, not overlapped but like a continuing double loop.

I constantly have these type of eggs on my glass they are Tonga Nassarius but they are not really looped as wide as you described. Good luck with your search.
