White specks

[Aiptaisia anemone]

Hello im kindof ocd, although they are barely visible i know its there lol, anyone know what these are...? I think they are some sort of algae..? Im not really sure please help, note that i tried to use my nanomag on it and still not coming off, i havent tried using the razor cuz im scared of scratching my aquarium thanks!

could be coralline algae if it is tough to scrape off the glass. tough to tell. coralline is purple or green

I have similar stuff growing everywhere.
Thought it was coralline but it is white. Just as hard as Coralline.
My friend says no need to worry just scrape it off.
I am gathering its harmless just unsightly, but would like to know what it is and the possible cause. Anyone?

Yours looks like spirobid worms which are harmless. Not sure on the OP's picture because it looks different to me.

I really thought it was coralline. Just the white version

Interesting, never heard of these worms. My specks do not move around, they are stuck hard to the surfaces they are attached.

Could also be snails. I have a few different types spawing in my tank right now. I just take pride in that things are reproducing rather than upset because my slice of the ocean isnt clean
