ok,
looked at my tank this morning, and this is what I see on the front of the glass. It's about 2 inches long.
What the heck is this?
Thanks,
Mark

Snail eggs. Someone more informed than myself might be able to tell you what species.
Damn - looks like Robert Shaw beat me to it.

so....harmless? leave them alone? or what?
Thanks for the response.

Cerith Snail eggs common occurance... you can leave them. Most likely they will feed a lot of inhabitants in your tank.

just leave them....if you're lucky you may get one or two surviving.

My eyes about popped out of my head the other day when I seen that in my 150. I have been searching for a pic for days trying to find out what it was. I assumed it was something bad so I removed them.. oh well.

You know, it's funny.... I was never so paranoid until I got into reefing...it seems most everything you find is bad, finding something good is a pleasant suprise!
