The white ones were laid March 19...the grey ones were laid March 16.

There is a fuzzy stuff on the outside of the egg 'slime'. They are developing rapidly and they are wiggling a bit...but the fuzzy stuff is getting worse. Do you know what it is? Is it just normal algae in the water? How do I get it off, if it's harmful?

Do they look normal?

The slime is normal. "Stuff" sticks to the eggs, and bacteria and algae colonize the jelly.

You'll also notice they'll get more opaque the closer they get to hatching.
