    These white dots are appearing all over my LR. What are they? Anyone know?
    From what I have read they seem to be beginnings of coralline. But I am not sure.

    Thanks,
    Manoj

    I'm going to guess that they're margarita snail eggs because there is a margarita snail in your picture and because they lay eggs in aquariums very often.

    oh!!! cool :) i did see one tiny little new snail crawling on my glass the other day. Hope I don't have too many of these guys hatching. Do any fish eat these eags?

    I've never heard of anybody having the eggs hatch so I'm thinking that something (or everything) in the tank must be eating them.
