Could be vermatid snails I believe they put out a web out like this to catch stuff floating in the water
 
That is exactly what they are! They reproduce and get all over the tank. This can be a real pain in reef tanks with SPS coral as the web can stress and kill areas of the colony.

Is there any way to get rid of them, I don't have any snails in this tank.
