    I've recently noticed some little round discs showing up on my live rock. They are white, I am not positive that they move. I cannot get a picture. I have been doing research online and here, and can't find much. I recently added a big clean up crew through John at reef cleaners. I believe they are either snail eggs, or flatworms. Thanks in advance.

    I think we need a popup right before anyone enters the ID section, with pictures of nerite eggs.

    Yup, I see disk and new cuc, Nerite eggs are the first thing I think of. But if you have not seen them before it would be hard to start guess who's eggs they are.

    Most definitely. It's just that literally everyone here has asked the question at some point, myself included. It seems like it would save 3-4 people a week an ID thread lmao.

    It's no big deal, they won't hatch in a reef tank anyway. The water needs to lower in salinity by a lot to instigate that AFAIK.

    I suppose if you get a clean up crew from John, you would expect this to happen quite frequently.
