Hi Guys lately i have seen in my salt water aquarium in the return tower this small dots i don’t know if they are eggs or small pests do i need them or do i scrape them off. The fish don’t seem to be interested.
Sorry for the quality of the pictures it’s impossible to zoom close enough for the camera to focus

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

If they're little spirals, they're Spirorbid worms (harmless filter-feeders); if they're just little spheres, then possibly Nerite snail eggs (if you have any nerite snails).

The specimen in the first pic and at least of couple of them in the second pic seem to be Spirorbids.
 
Hi thanks for your response indeed it looks like spirorbid worms they have spiral looks to the naked eye.
I appreciate your help thank you very much
