Maybe a vermitid snail. They make a web and let it out in the water to catch food. Find out where the web starts and there should be a little tube sticking out of the rock.
Here is what they look like, though mine don't really bulid webs often.

No, they are harmless filter feeders. If you don't like the looks of them in your tank you can cut the tube in half and hope you chopped off their head.
