Weird that is EXACTLY what I did (bamboo skewer) when I had one. Be thorough as the thing is incredibly hardy and can survive a real stabbing and rebuild. The web seemed to annoy some corals nearby. The tube is very hard...i cut it flush with the rock with wire snips and then skewered deeper.

If you want to get rid of them, just follow the web to where it meets the tube, and stick a toothpick, or bamboo skewer down the hole.
