ID Weird Eggs on Paly??

[Sea MunnKey]

Okay I was asked to post this (Patwa) over here as I can't seem to get any specific ID on this Eggs...so please chime in and say your mind what this stuff really is!!
These Palys are from the Indo region and acquired just recently from our local LFS here in Toronto, Canada...

Any idea(s) folks??? What are they really?? These sacks are like hardened Jello and I'd to use my fingernails and hair pick to scrap 'em off the Polyps!!

Thanks,
Paul

Ha..ha...the weirdest thing is that I didn't find any Nudis at all after the FW dip with Lugol solution. However I did find a very small Clam like shell which resembles a Mussel shell but not as dark in coloration...

Third picture (Top down)... notice the little Clam just right above my Thumb??

wow.. that's the first time I've seen those..

might be snail eggs? I really don't have any clue... I would QT the palys though if it was me..

I should've set aside these eggs in another container and see what it hatches out to be...darn I think they're all dried up by now!! Ahhh...screw it ..my Palys the Priority..

yeah i'm puzzled too! seems like snail eggs or nudi eggs....but what sort of snail or nudi!? haha...

Well it wouldn't be nudi eggs as they lay eggs in a egg ring and not in a large clump or mass of eggs like that. I kow snails usually lay in egg rings also but I don't see why that they couldn't also lay them in a egg mass. I would have to say they (what ever layed them) is a little more evolved then a nudi or snail. You might be surprised if you put the egg mass back in water and they might just hatch out....With all the things in the ocean it would almost be impossiable to tell from the picuters what could have layed the eggs....Still kinda cool though.

put them back in the tank and let's see them hatch out. See what they are!!! JK

Unfortunately I left them on the Blue Top...in the open and I'm hoping it didn't dry out completely!! Yes...I am going to try and hatch them if I can salvage any 'good' ones...and will keep everyone posted!!
