    Pics help with definitive IDs, but I can guess spaghetti worms.

    +1 vermetid snails. They are harmless, but obnoxious because of the "webs" they can put all over your corals and tank.

    Thank you! It is snails. I looked them up, the webs are the same, but I havn't seen the snails. SOOO, other than squishing how do I get rid of them.
