Are these copepod eggs? (They look to be tending them) I also have turbo, Astrea and 2 fighting conchs if they’re from any of them. Though one conch I can’t seem to find. I’ve dosed a batch of copepods twice a couple months ago but this is the first I’ve seen some eggs so assuming they’re happy.

Take a small needle and have 3/8 tubing ready and attach to end of tubing with rubber band and pop each one and siphon at same time- You will have removed all spores and foreign material in area.
Had to do this in the past with birdsnest coral and was gone 100%.
Other option is to add pitho crabs or emerald crabs (which I do not trust) which will eat them

I sucked them off. Was only 2 batches I could see.
