Whats trying to kill my tank?

[ThatGuy]

So yesterday I found white curly strings stuck to the back of the tank, Didn't know what it was but didn't want it in there so I pulled it out.

Today I see a even bigger one on the glass and another one rapped around my green nepthea and its looking all pissed off.

What could be throwing these things around my tank? What ever it is might have to go.

Any pics? Are they thread like? Possibly vermitid snails?

Don't think its snail eggs, I've seen them before. I'll get a pick up later if I find more.

Pretty sure its not vermitid snails.

Oh...Well thats a relief. I thought it kind of looked like when mushrooms throw up there guts. Had me scared.

Ok. So what can I do about these eggs? They are everywhere and wrapping around some corals, pissing them off. I tried pulling them off and blowing them off with a turkey baster and they are stuck. I'm mainly concerned about one of my zoa frags I just put in that is covered in them and not opening up at all. Also they are wrapped around a setosa frag. Will they kill corals?

Are these free flowing or stuck to the glass. Snail eggs will be stuck to the glass. Not wrapped around corals

Some are stuck to the glass and some are wrapped around corals. Here's a couple of quick cell pic's.
