White pods in sump

So I was changing my water today and I noticed all over my media rack and in the sump I have these white pod like things. In cleaning the sump, some are now blowing around my DT.

What are they?

They look like baby Stomatella snails, beneficial.

Ok great. So the ones blowing around the DT should settle and become a nice snack for my Pygmy Cherub.
