I dont have a pic because my camera wont get that close, but I have on the rock little "sesame seed" looking things. I noticed them on a small rock I just picked up with a piece of encrusting Gorgonia also. Does anyone know what these are? Thanks

Nerite snails lay eggs that look similar to this in my tank.

Yep. they are Nerite eggs. Definitely a good thing. If you don't get any baby snails out of it, at least you are feeding your corals some snail larvae. According to Leroy at Garf only about 10% of the larvae will make it to the adult stage. I find the babies in my overflow all the time. I find Cerit egg cases too. They look like a squirmy worm on the glass.

I have something like that in my tank too. They are white, perfect circles, have a spiral thing going on and have a darker center. They are on the glass close to the water line and are in groups and also on some of my rocks. Are those eggs too?

I also have little clear bubbles on the glass with white specs in them and these specs move.
