I found these in my tank and have no clue what they are. an octopus was in the tank but passed on friday so its been a day with nothing in it except feeder shrimp, feeder crabs, hermits and serpent stars. I saw a shrimp with egss on it about a week ago but I would think the eggs would be eaten by other shrimps and crabs.
they are definatly living and not bubbles. they look like little white spheres with tiny tales

The second one is just a snail I found. Just wanted to know if its reef safe?
Thanks!

Yea that's it exactly I thought u took my picture it's so close haha. So wit do I do now a plan on adding a fish ( wrasse or damsel ) tommorow. Will this kill all them? Idk if you can tell but there's tons of them. My wrasse just eats to the point till he explodes so if I put him in the tank would he just keep eating till he died? How likely would they be to survive with fish in the tank? Thanks!

Without intervention, none of them will be there tomorrow. My cleaner shrimp is berried all the time, but I've only seen the larvae a few times. This occurrence won't change anything in your tank, unless you want to try your hand at raising them in which the first step in removing them from your tank. I just leave mine for whatever wants to eat them and the rest go to the filter Gods.
