Can anybody ID this thing growing off of my frogspawn?? Is my frogspawn reproducing?? Can it reproduce?
Also my snails keep leaving this stuff all over my glass.. Any idea?

#1 aiptasia
#2 snail eggs

Yup bigarn nailed it...........

Okay thank you.
What is aiptasia?? Will the snail eggs grow?? They lay them like crazy.

Aiptasia is a pest anemone which stings corals and multiply quickly ... try to get rid of them.
Most if not all the snail eggs will be eaten by tank inhabitants.

I recommend a product called Joe's Juice ... Just follow the directions. You could also try boiling water, lemon juice, or kalkwasser, applied by a syringe right into the buggers.

If the Aipstasia is small, Peppermint shrimp should do the job within a couple of days. I had quite a few Aipstasia, bought 5 peppermints, rarely see them anymore. Joe's juice works well also.

peppermints, but it's hit or miss as to whethery they will eat it or not, depending on where the shrimp come from.
