It's a Spaghetti / Hair worm......a good thing.

But let's have the pro's take a look..... #reefsquad , @KJ

I would agree hair worm. But not 100%.

Any wrasses in the tank ? Looks more like a mucus webbing wrasse create for their sleep protection

 

[BIG NASTY]

No wrasse

I was thinking same as Vette, maybe something from a snail or irritated coral. Did you try and clean it off the glass?

Or blow it loose with a turkey baster

Doesn't look like any spaghetti worm I've ever seen and I've seen about 4 different kinds. I'm not sure I've ever even heard of a hair worm.

It looks more like a mucus that some fish do produce. So what livestock do you have in the tank?

 

[BIG NASTY]

Clowns, Valentini puffer, coral beauty, lawnmower Blenny, rest is CUC, shrimp, crabs, snails, feather duster, sea cucumber

We just need more information!!! I could see it being mucus of some sort.

Does it move, because if it's a worm, it won't stay on the glass....it will be motoring along.

Otherwise, I can agree it's some sort of alien mucus.

Wasn’t on the glass was all in the water and this morning it is gone!

 

[Billdogg]

perhaps a bacterial mat of some sort?
