Sudden snotty substance

[Mike 1.025]

Hello, had this tank for 19 months. All of a sudden and not gradual in anyway, this stringy substance shows up. I have a pincushion urchin for about 6 weeks so not sure if that has secreted the spaff. I also have a conch for about a year and a half. A bloodshrimp, or is it the corals producing it?

Many thanks in advance. M

Any vermetid snails?

Thanks for the reply. No vermetid snails and the strands are considerably thicker. I have had those pests before and the strands were like spider silk. Some of these stands were about 3-5ml thick in places.
