eggs floating

About an hour ago it looked almost like it was snowing in my reef tank.
i thought this might just be the urchin pooping but it was more dense than this.
i managed to scoop some out with a teaspoon in the sump and looked through a 30x magnifier.
The outcome looks very much like eggs , so smooth but all seperate from each other.
i might be clutching at straws but we had a full moon 2 days ago .
in the 11 years of my tank running , i have never witnessed this.
i took a video but i cannot post on this forum by the looks of it.
Any ideas folks?

Tank corals are as follows
mushrooms
duncans
toadstools
Bubble tip anemone.
pulsing xenia

This is a photo through the 30x magnifier.
it is on a spoon so you will be also seeing a reflection.
