White specks


I have little white specks all over my over flows and the back of my tank. Will these go away. Do you all have them? Do you scrape them off.
I just hate to scrape, because I'll take all the algae off the back too and my lawnmower blenny seems to only eat off the back glass. I tried nori but he wouldn't eat it. He seems kind of thin.

need to see a picture of the LMB and the tank if pssible.
the white specs. do they move? if so most likely pods. they are fine to have, just a part of the life cycle of the tank, it the specs do nto move, maybe a sesille filter worm usally a calicum type shell around them reddish plume. not bad to have, but you can just scrape them off with a Credit card ( from the junk mail) . they should be fine

They should go away after awhile. Like said before, it is part of the cycle. I just had a nano go through the same thing. Nothing to worry about.
