Nautilus Shaped Plankton???

I came home last night to find my tank a bit cloudy looking. Upon closer inspection, I'd had a mini explosion of copepods. First I ever saw in there and they were everywhere. I'm happy about it but have a question; there are small nautilus looking creatures on the glass about 2 or 3 times bigger than the copepods. What am I looking at?

FWIW, I figured out it's Spirorbis, a serpulid worm.
