White dots that turn into algae?

[skrillay0]

I have white dots that always on the glass and rock. I thought it was snail eggs but it turns brown. It doesnt attach itself flat and just hangs there from a point. I think it grows into a fern like algae. Is this bryopsis?

 

Thanks.

You can see the tip of it starting to turn brown.

dang Whats the safest way to remove on a 10Gal with livestock?

Hand removal and tech m did the trick for me when it showed it's ugly self a while ago. Might piss some corals off for a while. I didn't lose any and I raised the levels to around 2000ppm for a few weeks, byropsis all died and I pulled and syphon ed it out.

thanks! so the white dots are bryopsis?

Not sure about the white dots, but that green fern looking patch in the pic looks like it might be, hard to tell. I'd remove it just to be safe, once byropsis spreads, it spreads all over, fast.

The 2 lil white things on the glass could be a pinapple sponge

Thats not the only patch . Its starting to appear all over my rock.

Do they move? And what species of snails do you have? Personally those look like egg sacks.

It doesnt move but flaps around with the motion of the water because it doesn't attach completely. This is the glass |\ how it attaches. I have some margarita snails, nassarius snail, and some nerite.

how long is it when it flaps around?? Like stringy?

Its like a little seed that only attaches at the tip. Not stringy at all. It turns brown after a while.

Hmmmm I was gonna say hydroids but now it doesn't sound like it

BUMP! I set up a new tank a couple weeks ago and these little white dots is growing in the new tank also.

 

I used nothing from the last system.

The white dots are nerite snail eggs. They turn brown after hatching, then get green algae on them.

I dont have nerite snails in the new tank. Only nass and torchus
