    It's off white white and stringy.

    Any ideas what this is? Is it harmful?

    Do snails or hermits eat this?

    Kinda curly but it is loose and look identical to ramon noodles before they are cooked. If you were to open a bag of ramon noodles thats what they look like.

    They aren't tube worms. I know what they are and have them.
