It almost looks like clownfish eggs. On the ones circled, it looks like you can see the two eyes and stomach/yolk sac.
Are you able to lift the frag out? Or can you shine a flash light on the frag (but not too bright to wash the photo out) and try and get a better picture?

Not sure. Eggs maybe? Not sure of what though. Do you notice any movement from these...uh...thingamajigs? Or do they not show any movement at all?

better safe than sorry there are a lot of things that can become significant problems once life cycles start rolling in. Best bet to do a manual removal and/or dip asap. If it were fish eggs typically other inhabitants of the reef would be quick to eat them

My buddy got back to me, says his damsels lay eggs on the Violet Orange all the time. Makes a lot of sense considering how they look. They definitely have eyes and whatnot. They are about one or two millimeters long.

Im pretty sure those are the dreaded air bubbles of doom , from putting the pourous skeleton back in the water after you orig dip, they cannot rise up through the tension bubble around it from the mucus. thats my 2c your fine
