Been having bad egg clutches since these showed up.

Any one know what these are? They are tiny and started showing up all over my breeder tank. Im curious if they are the reason for my clownfishes failed eggs after years up success?

Looks like hydroids. Interesting, I haven’t heard of them affecting or harming fish eggs.

They are capable of stinging and may be the issue
Two ways to get rid of them:
Starve them whereas suspended food doesn’t reach them or apply a dab of superglue gel over the top of each one and they will starve to death and wilt away.
Any on glass can be removed with edge of a credit card
