What is this?

Hey all,

I’ve been cycling my tank for 1.5 weeks now (dry rock and dry sand).Today I saw this white spots. Can anyone tell me what they are?

I think those might be stomatella snails. Do they move?

They don’t move can it still be snails? What should I do with them?

The thing on the right side looks like a little stomatella snail. If it doesn’t move, then it’s probably not one of those. It may be little sponges. If that’s the case, leave them be. They’re beneficial.

looks like a sponge. They come and go. Good filter feeders

Thanks both for confirming my thoughts!
