These little guys have begun multiplying throughout our tank. They seem to release a spider-web looking substance. Any ideas?

You can scrape them off the glass. Spider-web like substance makes me think vermetids, but the tubes are different.

Just curious as I just came across this thread - I guess I missed it when it posted. Did you ever find out what these are? Was anything added at the time they may have hitch hiked in on and into what size tank? Did it become an infestation or did you get it under control and if so with what?

I never got a positive ID but it was in our QT so yes we had just purchased fish and certainly could have had a hitchhiker. This was about the extent of the outbreak, no takeovers or anything. It seemed to subside on its own and we eventually took the QT down. However, the fish in QT didn't make it. I assume it was unrelated but now you've sparked my curiosity. :)
