What are all the white specs from. They have multiplied and spread onto the rock next to them as well.

growth on the base of corals looks like pineapple sponges a harmless filter feeders. not sure on the white specs maybe snail eggs.

The white specks are a type of small feather duster (spirorbid worms). Small, hard white spiral and a little teenie red fan head.
