What The Hell Is This Webbing From?

I was checking out my tank with the lights out and saw this between two anemones. :eek:







After some research I'm thinking it's Vermetid snails. However this webbing is quite large. I've seen smaller versions of it in the past but not to this extent. Mind you I did offer a decent feeding last night so maybe that has something to do with it. I hope these aren't going to be a problem. o_O

It's not visible now. The anemones are out and flowing as usual. However I'm going to check again tonight and see if the webbing is that bad every night. I like having a variety of critters in the tank but I don't want anything to be overwhelming. (Well except coral growth! :D)

Looks like warfare to me. We're there any zoas or other coral back there?

Nope ... just the anemones on that rock. And a few small yellow sponges. I noticed this and turned the lights on for the pic. There is no sign of it now. It was definitely a webbing of some sort and was flowing in the current. Looked like something trying to catch food.
