i went to remove my wave maker to today for cleaning and found this strange mass in the corner next to it, almost looks like a egg sack of some sort but i have no clue what it would be from.

Hard to say from the pics, but does it have two holes/tubes jutting off of it, or does it react to being touched?

Also, just to cover the bases here, is there any chance it's a piece of food?

no holes, nothing coming out, no reaction to being touched, feels kinda weird not sure how to explain it lol, also its not food i have not fed frozen lately been busy and when i do i thaw it out in a bottle of water with a mmix of frozen foods and feed all my tanks a mixture out of the bottle so i dont have chunks like that

Well, whenever I add an anemone, they tend to leave this goo stuff whenever they are acclimating, but once they are acclimated, they stop making it. It does look like this. Any chance this could be it?

considering it was there before i added the new nem no. i went ahead and deemed it random dead cyano that i left behind and removed it, honestly looking closer at it after i removed it, it did infact look like it was dead cyano
