Looks like a vermitid snail. Not bad, but in numbers could be an eye sore with their stringy webs all over the place.

Default Vermilion snail
It starting to make Web around the area, does it do any damage to coral as I have both sps and lps

Yup, get rid of that sucker. You'll be very sorry if you don't. I made the mistake of leaving the first one I saw, and now it is all over... And no natural pest control of it,... that I know of.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

In my experience it can damage sps over time.
