White spots on substrate and decor?

[fireman731]

So I noticed these weird white dots on my rocks and driftwood . It's not anywhere else , not on the fish or the live plants or the gravel, just the rocks and the driftwood? All the fish are acting fine and the water parameters are good. I just added a 100 micron felt polishing pad and some purigen and the tank is clearer than ever, but I do think I remember seeing these before I made any changes, but they seem to be multiplying. They don't seem to move like any kind of live snail or parasite though? Help?!

Yeahhhhhh I just figured that out as soon as he asked if I had snails. So.. I'm reading they don't hatch on freshwater and you have to scrape them off? Or could I try adding small amounts of aquarium salt and trying to hatch them? The other inhabitants are Cory's and I hear Cory's don't like salt..
