Today it is the second time in a month that i notice some kind of egg release in the tank,it came from a rock were my leather is on.I would like to take a picture it is exactly like microbuble and in 1h the 50gal was fill with it.The 6 line wrasse seem to like that alot!!(free fish food).I tried to look if an invert or a critter was near the spot but nothing was there.The only thing i know is ,it's white and fish love it!! Can someone solve this mysterie!!

Everyone's busy looking up "eclosion"?
(lol
)
What corals/fish/inverts do you have?(list everything you can remember) And how old is the tank? Spawning events in aquariums is nothing too new, but they usually are on very established tanks.

oups!!french word LoL.O.k so tank as 2 years it's a reef,for invert i have 2 cleaner shrimp,1blood shrimp, 1 fan crab,1 serpent star fish,alot of hermit snail and 1 conch,also have a hang on refugium.I don,t think it's the cleaner shrimp because i already saw them spawn and it's look like tiny sperm and it's moving.These thing are realy white and round and looks like microbuble and fish seem to love it !!

Could be many things coming from the rock. Vermetid snail, feather duster worm, mini brittle star etc. Should not be a worry as you have see free fish and coral food. The only problem could be a mass spawning event that turns your water cloudy for an extended period of time. Running filter material and carbon will help to keep the water parameter correct and the inhabitants happy, if that were to occer.
