But if the eggs turn out to be some cash crop then you're definitely invested!

hahaha, I doubt it. Its weird because I don't have any live stock in that tank but those 3...... and that coral/rock piece has been in there for a couple months...

really boggles my mind, I'm scared that suddenly it'll POP and i'll have 100 spiders crawling around.........

My guess is tunicates. They come in many colors and sizes. They are a harmless filter feeder.

does anybody else see the brown spots in other places or is it just me , the size shape and color of the brown spots look like flatworms to me but I can only spot one on each egg and maybe some eggs popped . Arrow crabs hold there eggs so there not that could be truncates , maybe look elsewhere for flatworms.

someone also told me it was just bubble algae that was not getting any light and not able to photosynthesize. However I noticed there's small embryo like things inside the eggs as well, this is soo creepy. At least they won't hatch right?

+1 I have seen something very similar before and they were tunicates.
