    There's this weird stringy mucousy stuff in my tank. I'm not sure what it's from. I have 2 hermits in it with 1 cleaner shrimp and 1 peppermint shrimp. I got the peppermint shrimp to clean up apstasia. I noticed one of my snail shells is empty as well.

    Thanks for the help guys!

    If its a vermitid snail, why not leave it, they are actually beneficial filter feeders.
