What the Egg?

Dung MVP · 05/22/2011, 01:22 PM

Hello everyone
I got a funny feeling today. I'm just in this hobby for 3 months, I transfered everything from my 3 months old tank to Rimless and after 5 days I see an egg. Where the hell does it come from and what make it happen.
I'm sure it's an egg.

Whole tank takes few days ago

Only 1 central coral could lay the egg, or anemone?

I don't see anyone here has such thing, I think it comes from anemone but can't look for it on Google. What do you think?

Not doubting, but what makes you sure it's an egg? The pictures are pretty good, but with my eyesight, it could be a rock, or even a sponge just based on the looks.

An egg would have a more uniform shape. I'm thinking it's a rock.

It's not a rock nor sponge cover the rock, it could float when the wavemaker flows to it.

Ok, not sure 100% it's an egg, but surely 100% not a rock.

Looks like a sponge and looks like an egg. The outside covers the inside to protect it and you can see red and white something like chicken egg.

It's soft and flexible, it was going around the tank till I decide to pick it up and put in the glass. I hold in hand and washed it under wavemaker, left it last night, and now in the morning it gets out of the glass because of the wavemaker.

Please find out together but don't say it's rock or sponge. Look clearly on the first pic. Thanks all.

It's clearly been left by an alien as there is no other explanation. You don't want to see what will hatch from that thing.

Ok sorry you guys, my bad. I thought I was lucky or something. It's melt and I get it out of my tank already.

It would still be nice is someone who knows what that was would chime in and share.

I am guessing that it was a poo of some sort. Ejected waste from a nem or something. Looks like a hunk of shrimp, lol..

I've seen many ball shaped sponges in my tank. If one came loose it would look like that. However, if one end opens like a flower petal, watch it!
