The web sounds like a vermetid snail. I have a couple that have gotten to a decent size. Almost 1/4" diameter tube with webs ~8" long. They use these to capture particles in the water column, then pull it all in to consume. They are harmless, although the webs can iritate other corals.

Take a close look and see if it resembles this. The color may be different (mine is pure white).
