Small White spots

[Justin Thain]

I could use some expertise with identifying what these white spots are. They are about the size of a ball point pen, and a very round smooth dome like shape. I took a very powerful magnifying glass to examine what could be inside. From what i could tell it had very very (i’m talking very) small white egg shaped object within it. I have attached pictures for reference. Another interesting fact is that it looks like after a certain timeframe, the dome opens like a hinged top to release the inside contents

They look like spirorbid worms. Filter feeders

Take a look again. I have update since, the the last post. I accidentally added pictures of another tank that indeed have spirorbid.

Thanks for the reply by the way

Yep that would be their eggs.

Thanks, I was wondering that. I’m assuming they wont hatch, since it’s not brackish water?

I read it is possible for them to hatch in full saltwater.
