Weird eggs on zoas (not nudis)

[Echidna09]

Hi,

A few weeks ago I noticed these strange eggs on one of my zoa frags. They are bright green and each has a flagella/string on it. They looked like they were irritating the frag so I dipped in peroxide and scraped off all the eggs I could see. The frag is still recovering but now has these again, though they don't seem to be bothering the polyps like they did before. I also have another frag with these that also doesn't seem bothered by them. Has anyone ever seen these before?

Any help to ID would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Looks like zoa pox

Thanks, but I'm sure it's not zoa pox. These can be scraped off with a razor blade.

Looks like nerite snail eggs.

Looks like nerite snail eggs.

Yeah my first thoughts as well.

Yeah, but I don't have nerites and I don't think they lay on zoas... But still similar. Maybe another kind of snail? Been thinking about getting a Melanarus Wrasse. If it is a snail maybe that will take care of whatever is laying the eggs (presuming they actually are eggs).

Here's a video. I just dipped this frag in peroxide. Any insight on what these could be?
