When I started cleaning my glass , I noticed string ( can't think of a better description) coming out of the rocks. I really never sen this before. What could this be?

The webbing is likely from one or more vermetid snails. Sometimes they are harmless, sometimes they irritate corals. If you look at the rocks, you will probably find hard tubes with worms in them on the rocks. These worms send out the webs to catch food in the water column.

Thanks, now any way to rid them

You can plug the holes with them inside with super glue and it will suffocate/starve/smother them.

I never did care for those worms. I would remove them now if you can. Food I put in the tank is for the fish and corals....then CUC....not those worms haha.
