White things popping up

Can anyone fill me in? Tried searching for weird white things on glass and didn't see anything exactly like them.

I can't tell, they are on everything though, glass, rock, and snails. I'll stare and see if they move.

Thanks

When I press on them they are stuck to the glass but pop off and float around until they hit the bottom.

Are they little spirals? There are tiny tube worms that grow on the glass. White and spiraled.
