In the last week I have noticed some white spiral looking spots all
over my glass, Powerheads, and in the sump. They do not move, but not sure
what they are. Anyone have an idea? are the harmless? I tried to take
pics, but can't get it to focus in. Thanks, Rob ------------- 10G Nano 1.5G Pico http://gallery.utahreefs.com/main.php?g2_view=core:ShowItem&g2_itemId=1244&g2_navId=xe091fd60 - My Gallery |

They might be snail eggs, but sounds like egg patch of some kind ------------- Aquarium Maintenance,Consulting,Custom Built Glass Aquariums Rimless/Euro,24Hr Emergency Service 8015485201 Www.UtahAquariumDoctors.com [email protected] |

Doing a search on a bunch of forums I finally found a picture. However
multiple people said multiple things. So from what I read it is either
type of snail eggs (as Eric mentioned as a possibility) or some type of
mini feather duster worm? Can any one confirm from the pic. Thanks, Rob ------------- 10G Nano 1.5G Pico http://gallery.utahreefs.com/main.php?g2_view=core:ShowItem&g2_itemId=1244&g2_navId=xe091fd60 - My Gallery |

If you look close snail eggs will look like eggs (little round things). If they look like the picture above then they are a common feather worm that is often found in the aquarium. How big are they? Usually the feather worms will be very small. ------------- Jake Pehrson Murray http://coralplanet.com" rel="nofollow - coralplanet.com http://utahbeeranch.com" rel="nofollow - :) |

I had those in my Bowfront all over the back wall . . .
Tons of them, just little featherdusters. I have tons of Cerith eggs now :) New spiral of eggs every few days. |

Ya they are pretty small. I needed to use a loop to get a really clear look at the feathers once I seen that picture.... Thanks, Rob ------------- 10G Nano 1.5G Pico http://gallery.utahreefs.com/main.php?g2_view=core:ShowItem&g2_itemId=1244&g2_navId=xe091fd60 - My Gallery |

Tiny featherdusters. They grow all over my glass and rock. I have to scrape new ones off the front glass once a week. Not sure if they add or subtract from the health of the tank, but so far it does not look like they are harmfull in any way.
