Who can ID this slime trail?

At least once a week I have these alike trails appear. They go away after a few days if I do no remove them. Is it a bacteria build up? It started a few weeks after I began useing Redsea nopox. It kinda has the consistency of thick snot to be honest.

I have worms that build those. I've watched as a tendril goes out, picks up sand and brings it back, building these. After a day or two, a errant current or snail scatters it and the tendrils come out again.
