cobwebs?!
Hi All,
Noticed in my smaller reef tank in the last month or so that i have what look like cobwebs between some of the rocks, they are not coral feeding strings since on a good number of the rocks there are no corals nearby. They are all strings rather than webs, notice them more when i have a water change when things get stirred up they act like cobweb streams and collect any passing debris.. Any ideas? Underwater spiders!!?? nah...... Adam

cobwebs?!
Vermited snails do that. I have a large vermited that sends out a web about
6 inches long during water changes. -- Ann R "Adam C boltblue.com" adamc@remove wrote in message ...

cobwebs?!
Tube Snails. They send out a mucus thread for collecting
food, and then suck it back in to eat the traped food. These snails don't crall around, but are attached to the rock. Somewhat sharp and fragel, look alot like tube worms.

Yep that be them. I think it's spelled vermetid snail.
I just call them tube snails :-) Wayne Sallee Wayne's Pets Ann R wrote on 1/2/2006 2:25 PM: Vermited snails do that. I have a large vermited that sends out a web about 6 inches long during water changes.
