For the second time in the last couple weeks I’ve found a blob of clear slimy stuff in my frogfish tank. There’s also a painter grouper in there. Does anyone have any idea what it is?

Are you dosing NoPox by chance?

Nope. Not dosing anything. I was wondering if it’s something coming from the frogfish. One of them did seem to be a little bloated the day before both times.

Interesting! Unfortunately i don't have any experience with frogfish. I just know when I was dosing NoPox it created a slime that would build up and I would remove from my sump daily. Even clogged up my skimmer.
 
That looks like the kind of slime my kid plays with.
 
I know this thread is old, but that appears to be an egg raft from your little lady frogfish! Super cool man.
