I just noticed this clear transparent object growing on my mag-float. It appears to have small objects inside that could be eggs. Help me solve the mystery and know if it should be removed. Thanks, Dan  ------------- Daniel Farnsworth |

It's hard to tell from the picture the 3D shape and size. It reminds me of a conch egg though. Here's a link to pictures of my conch eggs (about halfway down the page.) http://www.reefdup.com/2013/01/05/invertebrates-egg-identification/" rel="nofollow - http://www.reefdup.com/2013/01/05/invertebrates-egg-identification/ ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

So many cool things can live and breed in our tanks, if we let them.  Aloha, Mark  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
