Spider webs in tank.

Seems to be coming out of these tubes, and this one looks like there are little horns sticking out the end of it.

Bang on! I thought it was some sort of alien trying to abduct things from my tank haha. Looked them up and they do seem to be good for the tank. Very interesting. Thank you, I no longer have to worry today lol.

they are good, but can also irritate corals if they are constantly getting their net on nearby corals

Will they did off if I keep getting rid of their web? As I read this is the way they feed.

I had these little bastards not too long ago. Those 'webs' were everywhere and pissing off my softies/LPS. I even had one attach itself to a snail. I just pulled the rock up a little and put a drop of super glue over the opening to the tubes. Seems to have helped. As for the one on the snail, I just broke it off.

I pulled them all out this morning. Will see what it looks like when I get home. I like that idea of stopping them if they do not stop on there own.

i normally break the tube off, if i cant get the whole thing, just fill it with crazy glue aptaisia X kills em too

my tank is full of them.  i have been wondering if i should be trying to eradicate them or not.

they are back, and so ugly. i will be be manually snapping tubes off and if they pop there heads out again, all tubes are getting plugged with glue!
