Besides bad lighting.....

ahoy,
These fellows have appeared over the last week. My 55 is 3 weeks old and has 50lbs live sand and 110lbs of live rock. Both were and are in excellent shape.
Ammonia is 0.15, nitrite is 0.0, nitrate is 10.0, pH is 8.2, salinity is 1.025.
Is this a bubble algae?

So you have any snails? Sort of reminds me of snail eggs. Bubble algae is a dark green color and looks like little balls

That would be nice. I am doing the “package” set up from Tampa Bay Saltwater. The sand and rock are sent out in two shipments. I have several hitchers. The CUC of 50 snails, 50 crabs, 2 cucks, a starfish are due in this week.
Perhaps my two snails have formed a romantic liaison?
