There are two of these two tiny white spots on one turtle's shell. They are not soft, don't stink, just appeared. Could he have brushed up against something or do we really have a fungus?

I read on Austin's Turtle Page that aquarium salt can help, so I added some until I hear something.

I see one spot, but really can't tell what it is. Where is the other?

It's just a small distance away. They're on my shy turtle. Lol

So I am OFFICIALLY the dumbest new pet owner. Lol. I took a soft toothbrush and brushed Zeus' shell today and it came right off. Shell looks completely normal. Perhaps I need to stop freaking out and start enjoying these babies! Lol

I see several white spots on your rocks also. Same thing?

Spots on the rocks are just reflections.
