    The web stings so make sure you don't have any near sps. These things can rapidly get out of hand. I break the tube open, others super glue the tube's trap door. I've had the pleasure of being stung by more than one of these, and it hurts and never heals with out scaring.

    first time I heard they were harmless.

    Pest, crush it as much as you can then coat with super glue.

    I haven't been stung by one of these yet but they did get on my nerves around my zoa enough to fill their little hole with some glue. I have a couple around in other places in the tank that don't seem to be bothering anything. So I left them alone for now.

    I have never heard of these stinging before. I wasn't aware that they even had the capability of stinging. Are you sure we're talking the same thing? Vermetid webs are harmless unless they irritate corals.
