Here is a pic. (hard to see) of mine. It litterally looks as if there is a web like material on the rock and particles are getting caught in it just like it would in a spider web.
Look at about the center (Land R) about 2 inches up.

They're probably vermetid snails. They attach themselves to the rock and send out webs to catch their food.

Are these vermetid snails common hitch hikers? I had some of these white web looking things as well. They seem to have gone away, but they were there for a couple weeks.

I don' know what those are but your tank looks pretty.

One day I got a urchin and a feather duster.
I started to notice a spider web (clear / white), very long, going from these two into the filters (canister filter and power filter intakes).
It quickly turned into lota of webbing, at the time the urchin and feather duster where together.
I seperated them, but still saw webbing.
I got rid of both (the feather duster and the urchin) and never had the problem again.
Never knew what it was.................

i have like a 7 head frog spawn and the web is com'n from an empty small tube in the branch..something pops up and down in the tube. it pops out so lil i cant make out what it is :thinking:.. im starting to think spiderman lives in there,yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :joy:

I have turbo snails (i think thats what they are) that make a weird web too. I always thought it was the feather dusters or something but then one day i saw one spitting the webbing stuff out near some liverock and thats when i knew wat it was.

 

[birdy]

like Viper keeps saying it sounds like vermetid snails.

I had a worm imbedded in my yellow polyp frag that used to do this until I busted it off and discarded it.
