Strange White Deposits on Live Rock

I noticed several of these strange white sesame seed shaped deposits on the live rock. Anybody have a clue of what they are? I posted several pictures along with new tank shots! Thanks.

They are spirorbid worms. Harmless, filter feeders. Good for your tank. Don't worry about them. Here's a pic if you want to see: Melev's Reef - Visual Identification Second column, second row.
