Sounds like you had coraline and it got dry some how and died... That's when it turns white...
Or are you talking about the little white feather duster worm snail things..That twist like a snail shell...

coraline
i had got those dot's to. id suggest scraping them off glass. alot of it isnt calcium id bet. and no certain time period on coraline growth. i will say since i started using evs 2 part and increased flow and light my coraline growth has dramatically improved

Have you intriduced any coraline???
I just went thru a nasty algae bloom and all the dots were covered by hair algae on the back glass. I was under the impression that the coralline started from lil white dots.

coraline
no they are more than likely little feather dusters. not the pretty kind. how long has tank been up ? what ar you using to test calcium ? and what are you dosing with ? i had best results with someone scraping some coraline off their tank and i crushed it up and added it to tank

i think he's talking about the early stages of coraline algea growth on the glass. if conditions are right, the circles will thicken n turn purple/pink/red and keep mutiplying till the circles covers the whole area.

brush your hand over it. Does it feel flat with the glass? or is it protruding out?
Flat = coraline
protruding = mini dusters
My coraline algae is light to dark pink. If its pure white and flat its bleached, probably dead.
If its white and protruding, its just the mini dusters

Definitely doesn't look like those. It looks like the circular coralline algea just white. And they are VERY small circles.

Do you have snails in your tank?
I get little round white spots (snail eggs)
on my glass all the time.
They are hard and calcareous,and a pain to keep
at bay!

Yes I agree I said earlier it's probably dead coraline....
