chlwong Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I've noticed these strange dandelion-like things stuck to my glass and stuck to some of my plants.The only way i can describe them is that they have a small sack that sort of resembles snail eggs and is anchored with a sort of stem. Not sure if this is an emergency, but my worry is fungus or something harmful. These are the best images i can get of them: Any thoughts?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckmullin Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 If you don't want, smoosh them against the glass with your finger. Fish will have some free protein snacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chlwong Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Weird. I didn't think they were snail eggs. I've definitely seen snails eggs before and these just didn't seem like the same things. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 The fact they're on stalks makes me question the snail egg theory as well. If you didn't have pics, I would have said it's hydra, but those pics are not hydra. If you touch them, what happens? Give them a squeeze - like ckmullin said. If they're gelatinous, they're snail eggs, if they shrink back when you touch them, they're a type of hydra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chlwong Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I crushed a few and they're gelainous and don't respond to me. They are pretty difficult to actually peel off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
