    I have these small white circles on the glass. Thinking it might be the start of some coraline algae. Everyday i see more and more. Anyone have a clue?

    Sounds like little tube worms.. their filter feeders.. like a little white spiral. They are good!

    I think they may be a form of feather duster. I noticed small white circular growth on my tank and took a look in my book "A Pocket Guide to Marine Invertebrates" and they looked very similar to the tiny feather dusters shown in that book. It also said that you may not be able to see crowns because they are so small.

    Pics. If they have a tiny white spiral shell, I have thousands of those. They encrust the inside of my overflow box, outside of the overflow box, back of the tank, etc. They're little worms.
