Notyhing to worry about, it looks like your turtle is finally going to shed its baby scutes. Look for pieces in the water or in the filter already cause it looks like some came off already.

If you press your finger on them do you see bubbles move? There's probably air pockets in them. And yes, He is finally shedding his scutes
