White dots on torch skeleton and backglass, overflow weir

[Van Eternal]

Hi reefers,
What could those little white dots possibly be ? they are on some of the corals and back glass and on the overflow weir. not sure if both are the same things. Also to mention, the corals are doing great. I had also noticed Caroline algae starting to grow on the rocks.

White dots on back glass

Weird white dots that are spread throughout the back wall. It’s sparingly spread out and relatively easily to remove with my finger nails. I dosed metroplex with focus a few weeks ago but I only recently saw this. How about sand? Maybe some sand blew there? I wouldn’t expect it to stick to the...

Could be spirobid worms, but your pics are extremely blue. Please retake under white lights.

All we can see is this:

The stuff on the torch looks like a sponge or some sort of truncate.

Updating with pictures under whites , the one on the coral skeleton is different then those on the backglass. The one on the backglass has a spiral shape , believe its some sort of worm?

The one on the skeleton is either a sponge or some type of colonial tunicates, leaning to the latter

As long as the euphyllias tissue isn't receding at the contact point I would just leave it, if it does, peel it off

The white dots are most likely spirorbis worms, harmless, just annoying sometimes, but you won't get rid of them either way

The curled dots are spirorbid. Flat circles are prob snail eggs.

the curled dots also seem to be stationary, so overall its nothing to worry about ?

Nope, buy you can see some sort of outline where the truncate meets coral head. It could be annoying it. If you can get that piece out you could expose it to a few mins of air periodically. Also could load an old test kit syringe with peroxide and surgically drip it on to the truncate if it does become an issue. Possibly peel it off but will likely grow back at some point.
