What is this white spider web looking stuff growing inside my sand bed. I first saw it growing in a corner of my 125g. It looked like an ant farm kind of, like tunnels in the sand. Cleaned sand bed and it went away. 3 months later, it pops up when I put in a shaving brush plant. I moved it to my refugium, and it grew back.

Sponge or microbe of some sort, my best guess. Hard to tell with the photo provided though.

Turned out to be the plant dying. Mold? In case it helps anyone. Then 6 months later I am seeing small white sponges growing in the shadows of refugium. I remove them with a chop stick and set up filter floss to catch them. Thank you all for responses
