I was looking at my tank and I saw weird white spots on my coral and on my glass

you can see it on my gsp
 
Looks to be Spirorbid worms. Harmless filter feeders, however they can multiply pretty quickly.
 
How could I get ride of them
How much and how often are you feeding your tank? Generally their numbers self regulate with how much food is available. If there is an extreme amount of excess food they multiply. Cut back on feeding and they should deplete.
 
I would try an old credit/gift card to get them off the glass. Use a toothpick to bust them off of rocks and tank equipment (you'll need several toothpicks as they get softer the longer they are wet).
 
I have hundreds maybe even thousands of these in my nano tank.
