White dots found on glass

[nsajd]

Just came back from year long deployment and found white dots on the glass of my tank. upon close inspection they appear to have small bristles on them and appear to have a swirled shape of a snail's shell....any thoughts? as soon as my camera comes back in the mail, I will take pics...they can be scraped off, but require a hard plastic scraper.

Sound like spirorbid worms. Do they look like this?

pods .pods are good fish food.
if you have lr you could get a mandarin fish .

It's hard to say. the camera I borrowed from my neighbor 2 minutes ago cannot take pics that well. these things are less than 1 millimeter in diameter.

The picture I posted is blown up considerably. The have feathers that come out of the end to feed in the flow.
Here is another picture.

Got a magnifying glass? If not it is a great tool for viewing strange and wonderful reef creatures.

Yea thats what mine look like but they are really really small
Could those white spots be dead coraline algae?

your previous pic looks almost 100% like what I have...so how do I remove them?

Hard to tell from the pic but almost looks like it could be coralline algae. Is it hard and flat? Hard to scrape off the glass?
