Not necessarily. If it were ich (which I will bet good money it isn't), the ich goes through a cyst stage where the cyst is attached to the substrate. These are actually quite large and can be visible as white spots.

I can almost guarantee you it's not ich. I have a few ideas what it may be but, really, I need a pic to be able to say what it is without talking out my a$$.

still got specks
 

These dots are all over my lr. Any ideas?

snail eggs, you probably have (cant remember the name) oval-dark shell 1/2 inch or so . they lay eggs wherever they find algae mostly on glass. that's my guess. Barb

I'd be surprised if they were snail eggs. As they have been around for awhile, shouldn't they hatch? Scraped some of some equipment, they seemed quite hard.

it looks to me like someone spat sand onto your rocks. Try seeing if you can wave your hand over them or shoot them off the rocks with a baster :-)

They r stuck right on there kien. Had some on my pump and skimmer and had to scrape them off

Not ich :) Possibly calcium deposits?

Okay cool, well that helps narrow it down a bit then :-)

My second guess would be something along the lines of a Spirorbis worm. They start as tiny white calcareious specs on surfaces and if they don't die they can appear as tiny spirals. I get these buggers growing in my sump. They're harmless, as far as I can tell. There are other such small calcareous worms that look similar. If you tough them are they hard ? Try pulling one off and seeing if there's a warm under the shell :-)
