What's Growing on my Live Rock?

Lemme see it...

97% of my live rock is Fiji Premium. I have these 2 indonesian rocks, and I noticed the stuff below growing on it. What could it be?

I assume it has something to do with the rock because nothing is growing on my Fiji rock.

[Jkedra]

Descibing it is very hard...but whats going on lately? At least Im not the only one with uploading.

 

[Jkedra]

Ok...finally looks like the uploading problem is fixed...anyways here are these things growing on my Indo rock. Any idea of what it can be?

(The rock is dirty because I specifically did not want to disturb whats growing, until I know for sure what it is.)

Alien eggs

Lmao that's exactly what I thought... I have no idea what those are, they definitely look like some type of egg. Take pictures if something starts developing inside.

The white spots look like venom's eyes from spider man...

Or a power ranger mask

 

[Jkedra]

eggs??? you gotta be kidding me lol. I can only wonder what it is.

You will probably never know to be honest. They will most likely disappear one day and you won't know what they were. Keep an eye on them though.

I remember seeing something like that while diving, the divemaster told me they were tunicates / sea squirts (filter feeder). Nothing to be worried about. Safe for reef tank

 

[House of Laughter]

Tunicates that need more light IMO

Although, after closer review, the spots remarkably resemble skeletal structure. What fish do you have in the tank? or did this rock come in recently?

house

 

[Jkedra]

Not recently. I had the rock ever since I seeded my tank. I have no NEW fish to the tank. Just 2 clowns, chromi, domino, cleaner wrasse and sleeper head goby, and inverts including hermit crabs 2 emerald crabs
