ID Spiderweb Like Thing

Over the past few days this spiderweb looking deal has been forming in this spot. What is it and if it's created by an animal what makes it?

Looks like a cirratulid worm. They are useful for cleanup, and I think they're interesting.

I agree with Bertoni. Cirratulid worm. I believe they are also called spagetti worms.

thanks. Although I like diversity and neat little critters like this one in my tank I hope it doesn't get too much bigger.

I haven't seen them much bigger than the one in the picture. You will probably start seeing more of them though.
