Need help identifying white dots all over my tank.

[tommylinn8]

It's been a while that these white dots started appearing. At first I thought they were copepods so I just let them be.

But looks like they could be snail eggs or something.
I have astrea and trochus snails, bristleworms, lots of copepods and amphipods in the tank so could be one of those.

They're hard and attached to the glass pretty firmly and needs scraping off.

Could it be snail eggs?

White spirals are spirobid worms and one of the grey spots look like a flatworm.

I just googled spiroid worms and that's definitely what they look like.

Should I try to get rid of them by scraping it off. They're actually also growing all over the rocks and back glass.

Should I just let them be or try to get rid of them? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

The are inevitable so I’d leave them.

There is like a 5 page thread on them on here. Consensus is that they are harmless and that you couldn't get rid of them if you tried. They come and go as a tank develops.

They are filter feeders so if you want to shrink their numbers/slow them down then feed cleaner foods.

Yeah I've never seen a tank without them lol
