That is the smallest, ugliest tank I have ever seen!!! Why don't you get a real tank, like, well, any of us??

Just kidding, bro. Glad you were able to ID the stuff...I remember the first (dozen) times I saw weird stuff in the tank...that explains the 15 or so different marine aquarium books I now own.

By the way, I have your frags ready, and you can pick em up anytime...call before you come, and bring the boy.

They are either snail or sea slug eggs. I've watched both lay eggs and they look exactly like that. I think I saw the sea hare in NB lay eggs and they looked like that too- I could be mistaken and just been watching another snail in the hare tank. I can't remember! I'm fired :(
