White Spots On My Glass?

[brokendeck]

I have some white spots on the glass of my tank! What is it? Is it good or bad? Heres a pic of the white spots! You can clearly see them. I know its not Hydroids, if this helps.

i also have some white spots apearing on my backplate and also noticed they are apearing in the back section of my 28g. i was told they could be barnicles..
they are definatley not pods of any kind. at least in my tank

Ive also had them for a aprox 6 months. They tend to come and go, never figured out what they are but my tank has been fine

I have them also on the back glass of my tank where it's the darkest. I believe they're called "spirorbis" and they are harmless. They're tiny calcareous worms, filter feeders and are very common in tanks that are doing well. Be glad you have them.
