It doesn't look like the zoa pred eggs I've seen. They are attached more like fish eggs. But like I was telling Meowy, preds lay their eggs close to their food source... better save than sorry.

UPDATE:
I actually put the frag plug in a bucket with 2-3" of SW.. I also put a small hydor led light on it JUST IN CASE one of my polyps was still there
well I get home from work today...and there are "things" swimming in the bucket
these things are tiny...fast...have 2 black eyes....and a skinny tail
Since I have been I am pretty sure that more have "appeared" There is NO WAY to get a pic...they are difficult to see wven with the cheapo magnifying glass I have
I NEED A BETTER ONE
FLOWER...if they are demon spawn...i will crush them one by one...LOL

Okay, of course we can't be certain. Typically this is what I do when I'm looking at a critter. Sometimes it's not the critter itself (physically) I ID, but the surroundings and behaviors lead me to believe a certain thing.
Damsels dancing over a area of rock that contained eggs.
Eggs attached at the base... not like any zoa pred I've seen.
Described as eyes and a tail.
Then the pic...
I have got to go with fish larvae.

K, I'm off to work (late..lol) If you could catch some..... :) I have an array of critters in formalin. Like a weird little lab. I also can take a look under a microscope.

Soak a few pieces in some dyed water and crack them open at intervals to see how far the dye penetrates.
Maybe a few of us could do it. Same amount of water, dye and rock size and use different types of rock. To see if the dye penetrates some types more than others.
