    Those just look like "mini" dusters.

    I've just noticed them all over my tank also. Primarily on my base and LR. None on the glass. I thought baby snails also but only a guess. I have never seen them before. I also have pineapple sponges everywhere but they look different. They appear to be forming in a circular pattern. Are they hard or soft? Mine are hard. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I agree. I think they are tubeworms. I have them all over my newish 20g (along with pineapple sponges). They are a good sign that means things are healthy. :)

    Spirorbis worms. Looks like yours have white "feathers." Mine are usually red with a white shell. I am pretty sure this is what is in your pic.
