Hi all, today I spotted something on my black torch look like encrousting eggs and I thought immediately to some flatworms.

I took the torch out, splashed with a syringe of Rodi water to see if some flatworm fall but nothing.

Then I dipped it in af protect dip but nothing, no flatworm.

Lastly with a toothbrush I tried to scrape what I thought were eggs but nothing. Was too encrousting and seems impossible to remove.

At this point I don’t know if I am just paranoic or there are real eggs but I am attaching some pics.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am not talking about the white spirobid, of course.

I am talking about the encrousting eggs below.
 
the skeleton does look kind of odd like SOMETHING encrusted on it but they dont look like eggs to me eyes.
Hopefully someone else can come in and give another opinion.
#reefsquad what do yall think?
 
I tried very hard with the toothbrush but nothing. Also, no trace of flatworms in every euphillya I have.

Hi, I also realised that it might be old skeletons or signs of old spirobids..

I tried in every way as possible and no signs of FW or removable eggs.
 
I dont recall the name of the creatures. It's dead on your coral.
I had one on an aussie elegance. A type of colinial tunicate.
