Good Day,

I have spoted some strange white spots on the back wall of the tank, also I found some on the turbo snails
and crabs. Simular I have on the rock that I bought together with the coral and it looks like these spots,
started to move from the coral rock to my rocks.

Those on the coral's rock, have been there for more then 2 month but on the walls it looks like they started to
appear after I added first fish and started to feed them.

Thank you for your help.
 
They're exceptionally tiny filter-feeding worms, similar to feather dusters. If you look really close (perhaps with a magnifying glass), you'll see that the white part is actually their tube and they grow in a spiral formation. Perfectly harmless and their population will wane over time as they consume the food available in the tank
