Hi everyone.

I am super paranoid these days when buying stuff from anyone. Today I bought a coral frag from a LFS that I wont name at this point. They have always had beautiful fish and corals. I have never had issues with them.

Anyway...I dip everything now. I also get the magnifying glass out.

Today I found egg masses under the plug as I was dipping. I snapped the coral off the plug and added to a new one. I also dipped separately and kept it in dip a little longer than I usually do....about 10-11 mins. Here are a couple of iPhone pics...

I am 95% sure they are not AEFWs as I have seen those and they are typically orange-ish. These seem to be in gelatin with dark spots...and pretty small. Any ideas?
 
Dont look like aefw to spread out but thats no good prob something that can destroy tank most wont agrre with me but with everything going around nowadays id just take the lost chuck whole daym thing unless u have qt for corals
 
not sure what they are, odd for sure. Good practice now adays with all the pests floating around, dip, check and replace frag plugs.
