short little white tubes appearing
there are these short little white tubes with somthing inside,
growing little bit everywhere in my tank. They also have what seems like a web coming out of them, Can anyone tell me what I can do to get rid of these things. And are they a bad sign. |

No big deal. They fish for food. They're just part of your clean up crew, uninvited. I had way too many of them until I borrowed a purple tang for a month. He ate them all, in between eating the caulerpa I wanted him to get. I was rather sorry. I miss the little fisher-worms. But I agree with you, there's a limit.

It sounds like you're referring to feather dusters (i.e. worms). They are filter feeders. They're harmless in my experience.

could be vermatid snails also. A picture of what you have would help

I'm thinking vermatid snails as well. They look like little sticks right? With a string hanging off of them periodically?

great detrivores - leave them be, unless they begin to clog up PH intakes, etc.
