White Spots on Aquarium glass

[oakleyx]

Hi

I woke up this morning to find white spots all over my aquarium glass. They kind of look like small white swirls.

Does anybody know what they are? How do I get rid of them?

Thanks

I think its just coraline algae.

If you go way back on my thread i had a ton of little white spots that appeared on rock and the glass.

Turned out they were a form of tiny wee snails type things. I swept mine off the glass with an algae pad and the rest just disappeared over the following weeks.

Occasionally they return but don't last long and seem to die off.

Spirobid worms possibly.

Ok I'll try and remove them with my algae scrapper.

Thanks everyone for your help.

When they show up it means the tank is doing well

Someone tell me if I'm wrong but I believe they may be baby feather dusters or tube worms. I have tons and tons of them and they seem to relocate to the opposite pane of glass when I scrape em off. >_< It's a pain.
