These little tubes/spikes (1-2 cm) have taken over most surface area of the rocks. Some snails even have them. What are they? Nothing comes out the end like a feather duster.

Not exactly sure..but maybe it was the uninhabited tube worms....have you checked late at night when light is off to make sure there's nothing that comes out?

I haven't check with lights are out. Will try and take a sneak peek tonight.

Googled "Tube Worm" and found pics...looks like thats what it is. Thanks for the help.

Its okay that it overran the tank right?

dude, I have that too. it is all over the tank and when you touch it the clear part of the tube shrinks. It is the stranges thing. I tried breaking them off my rocks, but there are too many and I gave up.
