Is this what urates looks like?

Woke up to find this in Boris's tank when I turned on the light. This is the spot he had been sleeping. Is this what urates looks like? I haven't found a photo online that looks like this to compare it to. My vet is closed today but I did email him a photo for tomorrow for him to look at. Hopefully this is normal and nothing serious. Last night he had his weekly soak, I cleaned his tank and put down new substrate...a new kind because the store was out of his usual coconut substrate but I think I like this type better. The coconut substrate tends to get really dry and dusty. He his new to my family, and a new kind of pet for me, and hasn't seen the vet yet because I just got him. Any help would be great thank you!

Yes that is Urates, If he is new he might need worming,
But what you see is nothing to worry about, But get a fecal test done to make sure he is free of any intruders..
