Hoping it's just some sort of pod.

 

[Paul31733]

Anyone?

Ostracod and Nudibranh eggs!

Ostracod and Nudibranh eggs!

I assume the ostracods are what is crawling around. Are these bad or ok?

Also where are the nudibranch eggs?

I see the missenterial filiments sticking out near the base of the coral flesh.

Are the other small white dot things the eggs?

 

[Paul31733]

Should I remove and Dip the coral and brush off the eggs?

ostracods are good

 

[Paul31733]

ostracods are good

Thanks.
What about those eggs?

 

[Paul31733]

Could those be snail eggs or are they for sure nudibranch eggs?

Not 100% sure what the eggs are from, possibly nudibranch? what mollusks do you got in the tank?

I have trochus snails, Margherita snail, cerith snails, nassarius snails, cowrie snails

Not sure what margherita snail eggs look like, when was your most recent addition to the tank?

Added trochus snails a month ago.

trochus broadcast spawn to my understanding. i assume that you have had no livestock damage which leads me to the assumption it is likely not nudibranch

trochus broadcast spawn to my understanding. i assume that you have had no livestock damage which leads me to the assumption it may be a case from the nassarius?

I have no idea but is it ok if I take the coral out and dip it and brush it off? Or what is suggested course of action.

you could just manually scrape it off and see what hatches from it

 

[Paul31733]

Looking online it looks like it could be cerith snail eggs...I have two of them... I'm hoping that's all they are...

depending, it may be, it is usually resident snails laying eggs in tanks

I mean I don't have rental snails...so probably the residents...
I have not seen a nudibranch but still looking...

you usually see nudibranch by sudden dead spots on corals and unexplainable coral recession
