So i bought a few new corals from a local reefer today and after dipping them in Coral RX for 20 minutes and then placing them in my tank I start seeing a "spider web" and see a little pest(maybe) in one of the coral tubes.

You can see the "web" off to the bottom of the tube.

Is this a pest I need to be worried about or will it not be a problem?

I also have a video but not sure how to upload it.

It's a vermetid snail. Their web can irritate the coral. You can place a drop or two of super glue gel over the end of the tube to kill it.
