This morning I came into my office and noticed something has "happened" in my tank. It's a NC12 with StevesLED. This tank has been set up for ~5-6 years now. Nothing new has been added in terms of Live Rock for a couple of years and no new animals have been added except a single emerald crab a year ago. If I didn't know better I would swear someone has dumped "Sea Monkey" (aka brine shrimp) eggs into my tank. Here is what's in the tank:
- 1 True Perc (~5-6 years old)
- 1 Emerald Crab
- Few Hermits
- Few Snails
- Zoas
- Finger Leather
- Toadstool
- GSP (2 varieties)
- Monti cap
- Birdsnest
- Bryopsis (receding rapidly)
- Valonia (about to attack it this weekend)
Below is a picture (somewhat close up) when the pump and powerhead OFF... the eggs settle readily but with any water movement they stay suspended in the water column
Here is a picture snapped showing some suspended in the water column (crappy phone pic)..The eggs are the brown round spheres in this picture.
Here is a another shot with the pumps ON and you can see they are tangled in some webby material. I don't know if this is part of the eggs or if the eggs are irritating things in the tank which are causing the webby material
Any idea?
