    I have noticed on my LR there are small tube like growths that let some weird spider web looking stuff all in the tank. Any clues as to what this is, harmful or not? any ideas greatly appreciated.

    There probebly Vermetid gastropod, They use those "spider webs" like a fishing rod... they launch it all over the place and then "reel" it back in and eat whatever is stuck on it. and thats JMO maybe someone else here has another idea. A pic would help though. ;D. Anyways do a google image search on Vermetid gastropod and you'll see right away if its what you got. :)
