    I believe that is the feeding mucus from a vermitid snail.

    No vermitids normally are housed in a spiral tube shell. Sometimes they do the straight tube also usually after creating a solid base.

    The details are so fine in the video. Almost looks like a type of spaghetti worm.

    HollyG has an interesting worm in one of her tanks and it looked similar to yours, maybe ask her.
