The co

ebs are from a type of snail, filter feeder. Totally harmless, as for the coral algae it will come back eventually. When I got my cured rock the coral algae turned white when I first put it in, but now about 6 months later, it has started to bloom all over the tank. Patience and it will grow.

If it is from a snail that leaves disgusting stuff around the rocks at the rate that this stuff showed up, if I find him he is DEAD!!!!! Snails are slow though seems like I would have seen him.

These kind snails don't reallly move, I believe they are just little coils that emit these webs but not positive from the pics.
