Hey everyone, I was in a bit of a panick when I ran downstairs to grab some coffee… I noticed tons of slimy strings all over my tank. In a timespan of 10 minutes it went from clear to strings all over. It’s already gone but I really want to know what this is?!?! Someone told me it’s webs from vermitid snails but I’ve never noticed any in my tank? I haven’t dosed anything different or so. Nothing looks out of the ordinary with my corals so I was wondering if anyone had this happen before?

I have heard that is what they do, they cast some sort stuff . Have you looked good in the tank after lights out for a bit? They are rather easy to spot at that point. And this is just me thinking out loud here, but I bet for every 1 that you see, there are at least 5 more

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
