Help Identifying "SPOTS"

[ccs]

I am having a breakout of colonies of white round spots on the rock and back of the tank, even on some of the snails. They are about the size of stick pin head. Any ideas?:help1:

Hard to be positive without a pic, But I understand that something that small can be near impossible to get a clear pic of. I have some in my aquarium and they are tiny little tube/feather duster worms. If you look close enough are they kind of a spiral shape? Harmless filter feeders.

a guess would be the start of coraline algae

Sounds like it could be Spirorbis or maybe Copepods.

They are not sprial. Perfectaly round with a slight rise from outer to inter dimension. I seem to have a healthy population of bugs in the tank. Do not believe these are related.

Any Nerite Snails in the tank? Could be Nerite eggs or some other snails eggs.

I would say snail eggs is a good bet. I have a recent population of these as well.

lot's of snails. Just does not look small enough to be an egg pouch

 

[nanoreefing4fun]
