Google vermetid snail and see if the nets they cast look like what you're seeing.

Unfortunately reasonably common in our reef tanks, they are a bit of a nuisance as the webbing both looks annoying and also will irritate corals.

This does look like the vermetid snail webbing. Sand sticks to it as well. Maybe he's in one of the tubes on my mew featherdusters cluster of tubes. It was a LOT, more than I'd expect from a snail but I dont have experience with them. I'll be trying to get a picture up

vermetid snails will produce a web like in your photo. I know a couple reefers who are struggling to get them under control.
