Do you have nerite snails in the tank? I used to think that the small sesame seed like white stuff are worms that do not move much too... Those are the eggs of the snails...

Yes. That is a nerite... To remove the eggs (which will hatch, but the tiny babies will not survive as they need brackish water), just use your fingers to scrape them off. They are hard, but not that hard...

To upload the picture, use the [img] tag. The end tag should have the '/' sign...
