Small white dots(?) on aquarium glass/decorations

[JHK]

I have a 40 breeder with Swords, Kribs, Corys and small Albino Pleco. All fish mature, no new fish, everyone healthy., tanks been running a few years. Recently noticed many small white dots(?) on driftwood, other decorations and glass. Wondering what the white dots might be??

Hello. Do you by chance keep any Nerite snails?

Hello. The reason I ask is that Nerite snails will lay eggs that look like very small, white dots.

Sound like Cory eggs.

I would increase my water change routine, if you are doing that less than every week to ten days. There are some bacterial life forms that form tufty white spots in tanks getting dirty in ways test kits don't measure.
nerites are also possible.

A photo of the white dots would help us identify them for you
