Their very common - little filter feeders, calcifying organisms, & a sign of a healthy tank.

Refered to as pileoralia / spirorbids https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirorbis

They'll often be more dense in number where alk & cal are dosed into a sump.

Appreciate it! Thank you, I thought it had to do with dosing but thought maybe my calcium reactor was malfunctioning or something.
