Small white rings on back of tank

My tank has been setup for a few months now with 20lbs of liverock and a goby, firefish, and a few snails. On my back glass w/black background, there are about 10-15 small white things that are twisted into a circle shape. They are forming these circles that are only about 1/4" diameter at most.

What am I looking at here, good or bad?

I also saw for the first time last night, a reddish looking bristleworm, but I've not seen any bristleworms yet.

The circular things on your wall are most likely spirorbid worms. They are harmless filter feeders. You most likely saw a bristleworm too.

Snail eggs. They might hatch....or the fish might just eat them.
