Bought some coraline covered rock and noticed these tube looking things and every now or then, they appear to have a web coming out.

I only have a few and they haven't over run my tank so I just let them be.
 
It's a vermitid snail. I had one in my tank, too. They are common hitchhikers. They put out what looks like a spider-web like string that can irritate corals if they are too close. Other than that they are harmless.
