    I know it's hard to ID anything, witout a picture, but i'm stumped.
    I've got, what look like little tubes growing off my LR, with whast looks like cob webs, or long strands of hair, growing out of them. Just a few strands, not a lot. Any ideas?

    If they have what looks like a cobweb being set out into the water then +1 on vermatid. I have a bunch, still harmless

    My new Pinktail Trigger swam through it, and now it looks like he's got cobwebs stuck to his face!
