Well i removed the 3D foam backing as it was covered in algae and most of the covering had come off only to find a hell of alot of snail eggs, i tried to get as many out as i could but when i looked closely at a leaf i had to take a pic and show you lot,


Snail eggs are usually clear blobs of jelly. The markings on that leaf look like the knobbly little growths java ferns usually get. So unless you've seen those dots actually moving about then you may have removed a leaf for nothing!
