spider webs?

[Heidi]

Here are these ugly things I wan to get rid of them. It looks like a very unorganized spider web. I pull it off and it comes back in like 1 min . . .
Best picture I could get sorry . . .

looks like vermitid snail snot strings

they are attached to the rock in tiny tubes

The ones in my tank only do that when they get agitated. There's likely something in your tank that is stressing them out. Do they only do it when you do a water change? or something else that could stress them out?

That's how vermetid snails eat. They put out a long web, catch what they can, then slowly pull it back in, eating while they do it.

Alright guys I guess if they are harmless I will let them live Thanks for the help!

+1 Vermitid Snail Snot Strings. LOL

I have one. I moved him to where he attaches his Snot Strings to the Koralia instead of my corals. It is actually pretty cool to watch them eat. And he likes it there because stuff flows into his web all the time.

Here's mine:

I have one of these in my tank as well and wondered what it was. They are neat but also kinda a pain.
