What in the world! My shrimp hanging out by something that looks like a web of translucent material shaped (in the shape of a skull oddly enough). What could it be?

That's what I was thinking. So it's just by chance the shrimp is there.... then what is that?

If I remember correctly, cleaner shrimp carry their eggs.

The eggs are carried under the tail and look like a green area. Perhaps the "web" is from a Vermetid (hard to tell by the pics) and the cleaner is looking for a meal.

It looks kindof like those white noodles, it's fairly translucent and in a web pattern. It's really trippy looking. I'll keep an eye on it tonight to see if there is anything activity. I'm actually thinking they are from a snail.

Oh, I didn't catch that. I'll read up on them a little more. I get eggs all the time from my cerith so that could be it.
