I found some "spider-web" like sticky strings in one of the rocks. I remember seeing someone mentioned similar things before, but could no longer find the post. Anyone knows what it is. I tried to siphon most of the strings out during my biweekly water change this afternoon.

ok if you search under my name as the author and on the second page it says found something weird.I highlightened a bit and paste below.

Sounds to me like a Vermetid snail. If it is there harmless and a good sign that your tank is healthy. Here's an article by Shimek, scroll down to about the middle of the page... http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-01/rs/


There is a link to read on it but its definately vermetid snails it says.

cheers
