Hi,

I think those are some sort of eggs on this soft coral?
Any change anyone can identify what kind of eggs those are?
Should I remove them and how?

Thanks in advance.

I know you can see the eggs pretty clearly, but do you have any pics of them under white light?

I don’t know for sure what these are at the moment, but my first thought would be nudibranch eggs. I haven’t been able to find many good pics of flatworm eggs, though, so I can’t rule those out.

Well, I think they are nudibranch.

I took the coral out for a iodine dip and caught two fat nudibranchs, pics below.
Also multiple places have these eggs :(
Any ideas or suggestions how to get rid of those?

Like mtraylor suggested - dip to help get the adults and juveniles off, manual removal to get the eggs off.
