help identifying this

I have a RSM 130d that has been cycling now for 3 weeks. Yesterday I noticed a feathery white web like veil about 11/2 inch in diameter on my LR.. Any ideas what this is? Also small flesh colored tube about 3/8 inch long sticking out of the rock. Any ideas? I,m new at this so need help!

veil not for sure, but the tube could be either a sponge or a micro feather duster.

I would if I could, but camera out of commission. It appears to have something moving under the veil.

Sounds like a Vermetid snail to me. They tend to lay webs out over the rocks like that.
