i think i saw some of those but thats not what i was talking about..

i have to go back sat. and do somemore of trhis job so im sure ill see more of these critter things. ill bring my digi cam if i can remember

My reason for not thinking they are fish eggs is because marine fish that lay thier eggs on substrate usually exhibit parental care while broadcast spawners don't usually have adhesive eggs and they are usually very small. Could be some kind of fish I'm not familiar with though. My other wild guess would be some sort of larvaceans stuck to the bouys???? but that doesn't happen to my knowledge.
