Eggs!

[Cantareadio]

Removed these eggs from my green star polyp just now. I don't know if they're fish or Ich or what kind of eggs they are.

They're tiny white eggs held together in mucus balls

Try to hatch and find out. Is like to know

Theyre NOT ick. You cant see ick. The white on the fish is the result of it, not the parasite.

 

[animalzrok2]

what fish do you have in the tank?

 

[Cantareadio]

I mean I'm wondering if they're Ich eggs, not Ich itself.

Damsels mostly...they were on my green star polyp and no fish have been territorial around that area. I have snails hermits a shrimp and a Blenny. The rest are damsels.

 

[Cantareadio]

Oh wait Ich is a protozoan right? Can't be Ich eggs.
Maybe it's the sea slug hitchhiker I have.

 

[Cantareadio]

I read somewhere that GSP can release eggs...but then I dont think they'd be ON the polyp...
Haven't hatched anything yet...

 

[Cantareadio]

Aha! My sea slug did it. I caught her in the act!

Ich in saltwater really isn't ich. Only fresh water fish get ich even thou mostly saltwater is called marine ich. It's actually cryptocaryon I believe. And they don't have eggs they are a parasitic worm that when it reaches a certain stage it developed cysts thY explode and release the baby level worms
