Is this spirorbid worms?

If not can someone help me ID please? They are about the size of a pinhead and are multiplying rapidly. The “shell“ is very hard and the shape looks like a snail. They don’t seem to be bothering anything in the tank.

Sorry about the bad pictures!

That looks more like a small turbo snail. Do they move ?

The spirorbids in my tank are whiter and look like salt grains on the glass, although a bit larger than that. Those pictures you posted must be highly magnified so maybe they do look white in your tank? Hemmdog is right, they do look more like a snail.

My vote is snail as well.

Thanks for the input. Yes they move, but very slowly. And they are definitely white in the tank, the pictures are very magnified. And they are all the same size, a pinhead. They don’t seem to grow any larger than that. Maybe 100 or so in the tank. Some of them even hang out above the waterline. Hope these clues help!
