White dots on driftwood

by Ryand639878

Hey all, I have had a piece of driftwood in my tank for a few months now and it has been fine. the other day i noticed a ton of little white dots on it...fish dont have ick and nothing else had dots. so i took it out, rinced and scrubbed it and they are still there. any ideas of what it is or hwo to get rid of it safely?

Do you have snails in your tank? I'm thinking it could be snail eggs. If so, they are harmless.

I actually got it from petsmart as well as soaked it to get all the tannins out and all that. i do have one mystery snail but he/she is large not like these dots, they look like lice all over the wood. so i have taken it out of the tank for now.

mro2you2: MUST you be so RUDE in every post you reply to?? This person was asking a simple question and you gave a rude answer. Hate to break it to you, but most of your replies have been wrong.

Dizz, i don't think anyone is taking him seriously anyways. Not only are his posts filled w/misinformation, but also so full of typos and bad grammer that you almost can't undersand what he's saying.
