Vermetid snail. To get rid of it you have to break his cacoon and physically remove the body. They're not harmful but yes the web is ugly.

I put reef safe super glue gel over mine, or epoxy. the gel works better though.

I was figuring on using my wifes knitting needle kinda stick it in and twirl the little buggers out.
