Little White Spots

[minisoph]

Hi

Just wondered if anyone can help here

I have a 200L corner unit, planted and with various different rocks & bogwood. On the bogwood and one of the rocks i have tiny (pinhead sized) bright white spots, theres loads of them.

I dont know what these are and they have been in tank for about a year and nothing is happening to them.

Any ideas please??

Hi, Can you post some pix of them?

If you've had them there for awhile without ill effect, then I wouldn't worry about them.

Do you have nerite snails? They sound like nerite eggs.

Yupp those are zebra snail eggs... they look like little white sesame seeds, right? I'm afraid I don't know how to get rid of them. You'll have to ask someone else.

Yeah theyre zebra snail eggs. they wont hatch because they only hatch in saltwater but they make a mess, though.

How interesting!

Thank you for the help guys. Yes they do look just like sesame seeds, quite annoying to look at too, but i like my snails, so i will just put up with them i guess.
