    No, that's not normal. It sounds like you may have a vermetid snail nearby.

    Does the web almost look like feathers. A thin string with smaller ones on the side. Kind of hard to describe but if it is what I am thinking it is actually a very small jelleyfish. I'll try to find a pic and the name so you can see if that is it. The good news is if it is they don't cause any problems and are just filter feeders.

    A reef tank is like a race car. The faster you go the harder you crash.

    Every 60 seconds you spend being angry is a minute of happinesss you will never get back.

    You can't change the past but you can change how you react to it;
