sounds like pods (amiphipods/copepods)
these are good and a sign of a healthy tank.

+1, I have them everywhere.

So these white spots are not a sign of overfeeding? I read somewhere that was the case, but I find I have to leave a little food in the tank as I have one timid eater that nibble once everyone else is done.

I looked at these white dots with a magnifying glass, and they look like a rolled up worm. Do they eventually turn in to something else?

Thanks,
jassz

It sounds like they might also be Spirorbid Worms. But again, nothing to worry about. If they bother you, you can scrape them off the glass.
