Default white specks
Hello ever so knowledgeable reefing community. While gazing at my 93g cube this morning I noticed a sudden outbreak of what looks like pin-head sized white dots on my lr. should i be worried and any idea what this might be? Thanx

Try to get a pick up if you can. This could be a ton of things.

hard to get a pick as they are very small. not spirals which i presume would be snail eggs. basically showed up over night.

it is not ich on your live rock. could be sponge, copapods, algae, whatever it is, a better description and a picture will help and it it very likely good or not harmful.
