Fish= 1 yellow tang, 2 nemos

Here is a cucumber I saw in Bonaire last year while I was studying the reefs with a team from NOAA. Surely this is not the same species as you are keeping, but you can see how they are capable of … crapping packets of sand.

What species of shrimp are you keeping? The sand star may be able to do something like this I honestly don’t have a lot of long term hands on experience with them. Regardless I don’t think this is anything to worry about. Anything that would be capable of creating eggs that large and at that quantity would have to be significant in size and it would be one of the animals you know and love.

(BTW the little black dot down the bottom right of the first image is a damsel fish for size comparison. The specimen of Cucumber pictured could not fit in your tank. I believe the common name for them is Donkey Dung Cucumber.)
