    I have some white coraline in my tank, in areas where it grows close to the light. I don't think its spiral though, some of it might grow that way, but I don't think all of it should be like that, it might be something else. Scrub it off a bit, if its easy to take off, its probably not coraline.

    Wish I had a good camera. They,re approximately 1/8 spiral circles and kind of crusty like barnicles, calcium

    coraline usually starts its growth lookin like a spiral i have them as well and have had them in spots that are now bright pink spots of coraline also to add I think coraline is very beautiful and would love to have to whole back wall of my tank encrusted with it.Getting rid of it is not something I am lookin for right now even though I do find myself scrapping more and more off the front glass of the aquarium.

    I had tons of tiny red feather dusters all over my glass a long time ago, started out as little white spirals.

    Feather dusters would be great too.
