Van down by the river is on a distinguished road

Hey Quinn,
It sounds like you have a vermetid snail. They are a type of filter feeding sessile snail. The strings you see are mucus nets used for food capture. They are perfectly reef safe, and a nice little hitchhiker. Plankton substitutes/dissolved organics and calcium additives are it's only requirements.
