Recently I've noticed these white specs on my back panel and I'm not sure what it is. It's hard like coraline algae but it's not purple or green. Thanks in advance.

Sorry the pic isnt clear enough. You think its white corraline? Is it flat like it or sticks out?

Sorry I tried getting a good one but couldn't. It's not flat if does stick out. I didn't know there was a white coraline.

Well there is bleached corraline. But i haven't heard of white corraline.

If you got a magnifying glass you can zoom into the thing your trying to take a pic of.

In my tank, those white pecks would be baby snails. Need a more clear pic to confirm.

I didn't think it would be bleached coraline sense the rest of it in my tank is growing and doing good. As far as I can tell anyway. What can course it to bleach?

It never moves so I don't think it's snails. I'll try getting better pics tomorrow

Either spirabids or hydra often confused to be calcium deposits

The pic is not clear enough to ID. If they are spirorbid they are harmless filter feeders that come as the tank matures. Why scrape off biodiversity we wait so long for?
