White crystal like spots on my baby red eared slider turtles

Today I saw white crystal like spots on the back of my baby slider turtles. Is this something to worry? The boys are active, all the time, they play, eat, I never seen them resting. What can cause these spots and how do I get rid of it?

Hard to tell from a picture. Looks like mold. Can you scratch it off with your nail?


Does he have a landing dock under the light where he can climb out and bask?

Yes they have this transparent Baskin area. But these boys do not rest there in my presence they prefer to remain outside. I will scratch and find out. Both the turtles are having these spots with similar pattern

I did try to scratch and remove but it didn't work. It looks like those white spots are slightly protruding inside
