What are these White Specs?!?

[Jake337]

These white looking eggs have been spread throughout my tank for the past month now. I thought they would be eggs or something so I didn't bother touching them. Nothing has changed with the white specs so I'm assuming they aren't eggs. Anyone know what they may be and have any suggestions?

Sorry the pictures are a little blurry. iPod quality.

They could be bleached corraline algae spots.. I could be wrong though

 

[Jake337]

They could be. I do have coralline algae all over my rocks.

I'm pretty sure they're baby tube worms.

They look like pods. Is this a fairly new tank?

 

[Jake337]

My tank is about 4 months old. But, these white specs don't move. They stay still and just sit there.

 

[Zactheninja]

Their kind of a spiral right?

 

[fort384]

They could be Spirorbid Worms. If you look very closely are there feathers coming from one end?

 

[boardsurfer]

I'd say baby tubeworms too or fan worms.

 

[Jake337]

Yeah they're spiral shaped. Are they good or bad?

 

[fort384]

Not bad. Harmless.

 

[Zactheninja]

There's good.
Of they grow up. (some will die)
They will be pretty and if I remember correctly they help phosphates.

 

[Jake337]

Thats cool! How did these get in my tank?

 

[Zactheninja]

Maybe your live rock?
Probably had a couple that came in from there.
