Hmm. Not sure then. @ISpeakForTheSeas may know?
I can't tell for sure from the pic, but I think I can see some small holes when I zoom in (particularly in the top right and bottom left of the blob) - so I'd guess a sponge.

If so, it seems to be the harmless variety.

Thanks for hopping on.

I really appreciate you and everything you do for this forum.
