Pile of brown eggs? on sand bed

[97wing]

I came home today and see a small pile of tiny brown balls on my sand bed. It looks like you poured something out on the sand. My stock list is a pepperment shrimp, two ocellaris clownfish, longnose firefish, pin cushion urchin and sveral varieties of snails.

Any ideas?

Could potentially be several things. One is some sort of snail eggs--they are usually white or some other color. The other option is sea urchin feces, which comes out as round pellets, if you've ever seen it. The latter would be my guess.

I was about to say sea urchin feces, but Amp beat me to it :-) It is weird stuff, perfect little brown/grey pellets.

Can you post a photo?

The winner is urchin feces. I must need some more flow around that rock, or they would not have piled up. I moved a powerhead some and they blew away.
