predators in tank?

[algy1943]

Hi Guys, whilst feeding some anemones with raw prawn I saw these goldish thread like strands grasping a piece of loose prawn, the were attached to the live rock and also seemed to be coming out of the coral sand, are they a threat to my inhabitants of my reef tank

Probably vermetid snails. They may annoy some corals if the web gets on them, but they are pretty much harmless.

Yup. They can be a pain in the ass! I try to keep them killed off as they pester my other corals with their webs.

Iseem to be having loads of problems, have you a photo of the snails as I have dozens of small ordinary looking snails, by the way my heteractis crispa is still alive and eating well
