I've been having quite a break out of these little white disks in my tank. I'm guessing I could count a couple hundred of them. Check out the pics (the white disks seem to look purple in these pics)...

My tank is quite young, at about 2.5 months since I put in the sand/DRY live rocks. I went through a first cycle and about three weeks ago added 10 lbs of Garf Grunge and I believe have just about completed a second cycle. As far as potential sources for these little critters, I've seeded the tank with the garf grunge, a few batches of macro algae, and some live rock frags that are mostly in the sump.
And now I have these little tiny discs (1/8th inch) that I believe look like tiny mollusks of some sort.
Anybody seen this before? Good or bad?
Thanks for all input!!!
