What is this

Was cleaning my tank this morning and came across this sack. Are they eggs? Tried to post the best pic I could get on the sand in front of the rock.

Not a clue! But commenting to help move it along to someone who can answer.

Is it the remains of a fish sleeping bag from last night? Some fish create cocoons to sleep in for safety.

Perhaps a wrasse? My exquisite fairy wrasse makes these. I only see the remains rarely.

Would make sense my wrasses were the last to be added

WOW, I DID NOT EVEN THINK OF THAT! I HAVE A SIX LINE THAT DOES THAT.

I’m pretty sure wrasses that don’t sleep under sand make cocoons instead. Not sure about other aquarium fish though I remember seeing this in the wild when diving with big parrotfish.

That's so cool I have never heard of it before.

YEP! My six line does it. I didn't know it either then I saw this clear pillowy looking thing floating around my tank one morning. I had to do some research before I got the answer. I have seen it several times since then. But not always. Sometimes it just disappears.
