Small white dot algae growing on glass?

Just as the title says. Here are some pics. Can anyone please help me identify this!

Thanks for any help

Most likely not algae but rather spirorbid worms...they look like white specs and if you look closely they'll have a spiral shape.

Two of these on the same day.. Wow.. I wish I could see these closer.

You don't have any? Mine not only appear on the glass but also on a few rocks and even the Mag Float. They have drastically diminished as the tank has matured though

Not like those.. I have them, but only on my rock.. Haven't gotten one on the window yet and I don't scrape the back or sides. But I'm really wondering if these are spirorbid because I can't see them..

Here are mine..

So does everyone come to the same conclusion that they are fine to be left there?

I just looked up those worms on google images and found this image

It does NOT look like this. They are all very small and have maybe a little tiny spot of tinted yellow.

With the quality of the photo they look like them. To get a more confident yes however try to take a macro photo of them.

I get those a lot. And then, if left alone, they turn into coralline spots.

Are they completely flat? There are eggs of various gastropods that look quite similar.
