You'd be surprised what you see when you actually sit and look real close(I sit with a magnifying glass )

I know, still amazes me everyday
Hardest part is identifying them when you have no idea what they are or even could be...

Can't tell you what they are but I am pretty sure they are the same thing I have been staring at for years. White in color, roundish, rather flat, like to hang out on the glass and move very slowly. They are crushed with a magnetic glass scraper pass and the fish love to eat them as the scrapper goes by. I haven't seen any harm done by them. Free food for the fish.
If they are the same thing, they are definately not Cerith snails or their eggs. Maybe some other type of snail or limpet type critter is my best guess.
Try posting a pic as my camera is useless.

Here is the best I could get. Scroll around and find the dots

Could be tiny sponges maybe? Are they found in only specific areas (ie. lowerlight) or everywhere? I used to have a ton underneath my overflow box before I got my newer tank.

Just for giggles here's a picture of part of my sump wall. Obviously I don't clean the sump glass Sponges, coraline, tunicates, tubeworms, feather dusters, snail eggs, mini-cinnamon-rolls, they're all there

Mmm, mini-cinnamon rolls. <drool>

Tony, my tunicates are bigger than your tunicates.

[psiico]

Do they look like this up close?

[Quinn]

Mine don't, but mine are on rocks and are big. They are translucent, however.

Nice avatar. Makes me think of that Family Guy episode (great show) where Jesus turns water... into funk!
