HELP- What is this?

steveUNO · 05/10/2007, 07:35 PM

I started my reef about 3 months ago. So far so good. I have a internal overflow box that I've filled with bioballs and topped with floss to quiet down the trickling of the water a little. I've been noticing several tiny light brown shells/ casings on top of the floss. They look like tiny eggs- sort of oval shaped. Does anyone know what they could be? Im hoping they arent bad. Anyone have any clues?

We will need pic's. The discription could be anything.

Do they look like snails?

I'd get those bioballs out of there before they become a nitrate factory!! Without a pic, it's pretty hard to ID from your description.
