Difficult to determine based on your pics. Closer photos will help.

I'll do my best, he's not the biggest fan of being photographed :-) if you can zoom in its easier to see.

Emma it is really impossible to see from the picture, but are the spots "raised" or "furry"? Knowing if the tank is cycled would be a great place to start, as would whether there was any ammonia or nitrite present. How long had the tank been set up? That sticky at the top of the forum asks for a lot of information so that we'll have a better idea of how to help you.
