Can someone ID this for me?
I bought a frogspawn a few months ago with this tube protuding on one of the stocks. Well, the tube has gotten longer and is a web-like substance comes out of it all the time. Now those tubes are showing up on my snails and starting to bother me cause I have those webs showing up on my rocks.

I could be wrong, but I think the tubes you are talking about are tube worms commonly known as feather dusters...

There is a web that comes out of the tubes.
They are not feather dusters. |
