"spiderwebs" in tank?

Sal50 · #1 02/27/2006, 12:41 AM

hey guys and gals,

I'm new here if you couldn't tell.

Came home today and there are some stringy spiderweb like stuff in my tank(floating around and hanging off of things). Does anyone know what it is and what it is from (I want to say the urchin)? Also, was wondering if it was harmful to other things in the tank?

Thanks.

Maybe a coral that spewed out its guts?

It could just be a mucus discharge from a coral or other animals. I wouldn't worry about it.

I didn't even think about a coral discharge.

Should I remove it from the water or is it okay to leave it in?

If you have decent water flow, that will take care of it and flush it away on its own.

I would just ignore it.

It's all clear.

Thanks guys.
